New dishes

Trying new recipes — and getting them right

With SousChef®, new recipes work out the first time too: the free app guides you step by step through every new dish, so you don’t have to guess. Many people cook the same few meals over and over. Not because they don’t fancy something new, but because an unfamiliar recipe feels too uncertain. SousChef® takes that hurdle away.

Why you keep cooking the same thing

You keep cooking the same thing because a new recipe leaves too much unclear: how long things take, when to start what, and how a technique works. A new recipe looks appealing until you actually start making it. Most recipes don’t explain those things well. Cooking videos move too fast. And if something goes wrong, you don’t know why. So you end up making that same pasta again.

How SousChef® makes new dishes doable

Guidance at the moment you need it. SousChef® shows you exactly what to do at each step, including how the technique works, the timing and the quantities. You don’t have to read the whole recipe first and remember it. The app tells you at the right moment.

No guesswork, no stress. Automatic timers and a clear timeline mean you always know what to do now and what comes next. That way you can make a completely new dish without feeling it might go wrong.

More variety without extra effort. When new recipes go as easily as familiar ones, you naturally cook a wider range of dishes. SousChef® makes that possible — not by flooding you with recipes, but by guiding you through them properly.

“I was relaxed while cooking — that’s never really happened before!” — Tessa, SousChef® user (translated from Dutch)
