The functionality centers around a seamless, four-step process: tracking your pantry, generating personalized recipes, cooking with interactive guidance, and creating optimized shopping lists. Ingredient input is made effortless through multiple methods, including direct image analysis of your fridge or pantry contents, scanning grocery receipts, using barcode recognition, or traditional manual entry. Critically, Sous actively tracks expiration dates, prioritizing ingredients nearing their limit, which is a key mechanism for preventing spoilage and making home cooking more efficient and responsible.
When it comes time to cook, the application shifts into an interactive mode featuring a clean, dedicated interface. This mode includes hands-free step reading via dictation, integrated timers, and unit converters, minimizing the need to touch a screen with messy hands. For users seeking comprehensive weekly planning, Sous offers robust meal planning capabilities that integrate directly with the pantry inventory, ensuring shopping lists only account for what is truly missing. This combination of smart inventory management and guided cooking aims to make the entire process enjoyable and boost the confidence of every home cook.
