A cooking assistant that stays in the kitchen

Cook with someone who knows why.

Cuisson reads your recipe, checks what it says, and then cooks it with you: step by step, in your ear or on the counter, for as much of the cook as you want.

The kitchen is being finished. Your recipes will be yours alone.

Mid-recipe, mid-sentence

Say what you see. Get the reason, and the fix.

A cooking session keeps Sous on the step you are on. Describe the pan in your own words and the answer comes from what is known about the food and the process, not from a guess. Stay quiet and it stays quiet; every step still carries its notes if you want them.

My onions have been in the pan about 8 minutes and they're still pale.

SousThey are sweating, not browning. Browning needs the surface dry and hot enough for the Maillard reaction, and a crowded or cool pan keeps the onions steaming in their own water. Spread them out, turn the heat up a little, and leave them alone for a minute between stirs. If the pan is small, do them in two batches.

ok. and when do I add the garlic?

SousOnce the onions have colour: garlic burns in the time onions take to brown. Your recipe puts it at step 4, after the onions and before the tomatoes.

Your recipe box

Everything a recipe manager does. Then it reads.

Keep every recipe you cook from in one place, from any site, book or scrap of paper. The difference is what happens next: each one is read, checked and understood, so the box you keep is the box you can ask questions of.

What it does

Before the cook, during it, and for the week ahead.

What it will never tell you.

It will never tell you a dish is safe. It reads what a recipe says: whether a temperature is stated and how it compares with the minimum, which allergens are declared, what a diet conflicts with. Whether your chicken reached that temperature is a fact about your kitchen tonight, and only a thermometer knows it.

So every check is a finding with its confidence and its limits written out, and Sous writes the sentences around them, never the findings themselves.

Bring a recipe. Bring a question. Bring dinner.
