Included in Free plan Importing from Facebook is included in the free version of Souschef. Souschef can save any recipe you spot on Facebook — from a friend’s shared post to a viral cooking video or reel. Share the post to Souschef (or paste its URL) and Souschef extracts recipe information from the post’s caption or description and, when available, the video’s spoken audio — then builds a full, structured recipe you can cook, scale, and add to your shopping list.
Souschef works best when the recipe is included in the post caption (or description) or spoken aloud in the video. If a post only shows the finished dish without explaining the recipe, Souschef may not have enough information to create a complete recipe.

Facebook recipes in AI Discovery

Facebook is one of the sources AI Discovery searches when you describe what you’re in the mood for. If a Facebook post is a strong match for your query, it will appear right alongside results from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and recipe websites — and you can import it into your collection with a single tap.
For reels and video posts, keep Souschef open while it processes the recipe. Audio analysis takes a bit longer than a caption-only extraction, but the results are much richer.
