Souschef can pull recipes from almost anywhere you find food inspiration — whether you’re scrolling through social media, watching a cooking video, browsing a recipe blog, flipping through a printed cookbook, or copy-pasting a family favorite from a text message. In most cases, it’s just a tap or two away. Here’s every source Souschef currently supports, with links to detailed guides for each one.

Instagram

Save recipe posts and reels directly from Instagram. Souschef extracts from the caption and spoken audio when available.

TikTok

Import TikTok recipe videos in four easy steps. Souschef extracts from the caption and spoken audio when available.

Facebook

Save Facebook posts, videos, and reels through the share menu or by pasting a URL. Facebook recipes also appear in AI Discovery.

YouTube

Turn any YouTube cooking video into a structured recipe with ingredients and timestamped step-by-step instructions — powered by AI.

Pinterest

Browse recipes inside Souschef’s built-in Pinterest explorer, or just paste a pin URL to import instantly.

Recipe Websites

Paste a URL from any recipe blog or website and Souschef extracts the ingredients and instructions automatically.

Photos & Screenshots

Digitize a cookbook, a printed recipe card, or a screenshot using Souschef’s Scan feature — just point your camera and go.

Plain Text

Paste recipe text and let AI extract the ingredients and steps, or create a recipe manually from scratch.

​
AI Discovery: search across sources at once

Don’t have a specific link? Use AI Discovery to describe what you’re craving and Souschef will search across recipe websites, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube in one go — then let you import any result directly into your collection.

​
How importing works

Most sources work through your phone’s share sheet — the menu that appears when you tap the Share button inside any app. Tap Share, find the Souschef icon, and the import kicks off automatically. If you don’t see Souschef in your share sheet, check out how to add Souschef to your share menu. For sources without a share sheet flow — or when you just have text — use the + button inside Souschef to paste a URL, paste recipe text, take a screenshot and scan them, or create a recipe manually.

​
Free plan import limit

Free users can import up to 3 recipes per week. Every recipe you import is yours to keep — recipes don’t expire, and reaching the weekly limit only affects new imports. You can keep viewing, organizing, editing, searching, and cooking from everything already in your library. Souschef Plus removes the weekly import limit and ads from the recipe import process. See Recipe import limits for details.
