Sous Chef: Kitchen Assistant

New in 1.2: Sous Chef spreads out on iPhone Duo. Plan your week beside tonight's dinner, then prop it open and cook on the counter.

Sous Chef keeps track of what's in your kitchen and helps you cook with it, together with the people you live with.

PANTRY, FRIDGE AND FREEZER • Track items with brands, amounts and expiry dates, using quick durations or a calendar • Scan a barcode to fill in product details from Open Food Facts • Scan a package label for products it doesn't know, including the nutrition panel • An optional daily reminder lists food that expires soon • See how much food you used up or threw away this month

RECIPES • Keep your recipe library in one place • Import recipes from a link, pasted text or a photo of a cookbook page • See which recipes you can make with what you already have • Nutrition per serving and easy sharing

PLAN AND COOK • Plan meals by day and see what each one needs from your pantry • Drag recipes onto breakfast, lunch or dinner, and planned meals to another day • Add the week's missing ingredients to your shopping list • Recipes ranked by what's in your pantry, with food that expires soon first • Cook mode with step timers that ring like alarms, even in silent mode and Focus • Running timers count down on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Ingredients are deducted from your pantry when you're done

SHOPPING • An aisle-grouped shopping list • Put purchases straight into your pantry

SHARE YOUR KITCHEN • Invite the people you cook with from your contacts.
