Why weeknight cooking takes so much energy

Weeknight cooking is tiring because, when you get home after a long day, you still have to work out what to eat, how to make it and when to put each part on the hob. So a lot of people end up making the same thing as always — or ordering a takeaway. Not because they can’t cook, but because all that thinking comes on top of everything else.

How SousChef® makes weeknight cooking easier

The timeline thinks ahead for you. SousChef® keeps track of what you need to do and when. For each step you see what’s needed now, when timers go off and what time dinner will be ready. No five timers at once, no flicking back through the recipe, no cold pasta.

Just follow along. SousChef® reads the steps aloud as soon as they appear on your screen, so you don’t have to keep reading. Tick off a step when you’re done and the app moves on to the next one.

Variety, even midweek. SousChef® also guides you through dishes you’ve never made before. That way you don’t have to cook the same thing every weeknight, and it doesn’t take more time or effort.

“In 2024, you really just expect this kind of convenience.” — Leon, SousChef® user (translated from Dutch)
