Importing recipes from ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI chat apps is included in the free version of Souschef. AI chat apps are great for turning what you already have into a recipe idea. Ask for a recipe, copy the answer, then paste it into Souschef using the Text import option. Souschef will structure the recipe into a title, ingredients, and instructions so you can save it, edit it, cook from it, and add ingredients to your shopping list.
AI-generated recipes can make mistakes. Before cooking, review ingredient amounts, cook times, food safety details, and any allergy or dietary requirements.

Prompt ideas

Use these as starting points in ChatGPT, Claude, or another AI chat app.

Use expiring ingredients

I have tomatoes, eggs, and carrots that are expiring soon. Make a simple dinner using these ingredients and as few extra ingredients as possible. Include a title, ingredients, servings, and step-by-step instructions.

Cook from pantry staples

Make a weeknight recipe using rice, canned beans, frozen corn, and basic pantry spices. Keep it affordable and use minimal fresh ingredients.

Limit extra shopping

I have chicken thighs, broccoli, onions, soy sauce, and rice. Create a balanced dinner using mostly these ingredients. Tell me what optional extras would improve it.

Match a diet

Create a vegetarian, high-protein lunch I can make in 20 minutes. Use common ingredients and include simple substitutions.

Use leftovers

I have leftover roasted vegetables and cooked pasta. Turn them into a new recipe for two people with minimal additional ingredients.

Meal prep

Make a meal-prep recipe for four lunches that reheats well. Keep it under 500 calories per serving and include storage tips.

Tips for better imports

  • Ask for a clean recipe format with clear sections: title, ingredients, and instructions.
  • Copy only the recipe you want to save. Leave out long conversation history or unrelated notes.
  • If the recipe is vague, ask the AI app to add exact ingredient amounts before copying it into Souschef.
  • Edit the recipe in Souschef before saving if you want to adjust servings, swap ingredients, or add notes.
