All your imported recipes are stored right inside Souschef and available offline — no internet connection needed once a recipe is saved. Whether you've imported a handful of family favorites or built up a library of hundreds of dishes, Souschef's search and filters make finding exactly what you're looking for a breeze. Filter by AI-suggested [tags](/using/ai-tagging) like cuisine, meal type, diet, main ingredient, or cooking method — or by [calories per serving](/using/nutrition) when you're planning something lighter.

## Searching for a recipe

Finding a recipe takes just a few taps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the search bar">
    Open Souschef and tap the **search bar** at the top of your recipe list.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Type a keyword">
    Type a dish name, a main ingredient, or anything you remember about the recipe.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your recipe">
    Results appear as you type, so you'll usually spot what you're looking for before you even finish typing.

  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Give your recipes descriptive names when saving so they're easy to find later.
  For example, "Mom's Chicken Tikka Masala" is much easier to search for than
  just "Chicken."
</Tip>

## Browsing your recipe collection

All of your saved recipes are displayed in the main view when you open the app. Scroll through your collection to browse what you've got on hand. Use the **Saved**, **Collections**, and **Imported** tabs at the top to switch views.

Tap **Collections** to group recipes into custom lists — like desserts or weekday meals — then open a collection anytime from that tab.

## Sort your recipes

Tap the **sort** button next to the search bar to change how your library is ordered.

Choose from:

* **Date added** (newest or oldest)
* **Last updated** (newest or oldest)
* **Title** (a → z or z → a)
* **Calories per serving** (high or low)

## Filter by tag

Every imported recipe gets [AI-suggested tags](/using/ai-tagging) — cuisine, meal type, diet, main ingredient, cooking method, and more. Tap the **filter** button next to the search bar to open the filter drawer and narrow the list to just the recipes that match.

You can also filter by **source** (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or Web), **website**, ingredient count, and ready time.

## Filter by calories

Cooking lighter tonight? In the same filter drawer, use the **calories per serving** slider to show only recipes in a certain range. Nutrition data comes from source websites when available, and can be [generated with AI](/using/nutrition) for any recipe that's missing it.
