Sous Chef: Kitchen Assistant
Not claimedSous Chef keeps track of what's in your kitchen and helps you cook with it
By George Vina · Food and drinkWhy we expect it: The thorough feature set, clear pantry-to-recipe value, and privacy-first design make this a compelling debut.
In short
Sous Chef: Kitchen Assistant tracks pantry, fridge and freezer items with expiry dates, and helps you find recipes you can make with them. It suits home cooks who want to keep tabs on their food and plan meals around it. One notable point is that data stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud, with no account, ads or tracking.
