Included in Free plan Importing from Instagram is included in the free version of Souschef. Souschef makes it easy to save Instagram recipe posts and reels so you’ll never lose track of a great dish again. When you import a post, Souschef extracts recipe information from the caption and, when available, the video’s spoken audio — then organizes everything neatly in your recipe collection. There are two ways to do it, so pick whichever works best for you!
Souschef works best when the recipe is included in the post caption 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.
