Saving recipes

Share sheet — a Save to Saucier action in every app that can share a link, so saving from Safari, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit or Messages takes two taps without leaving the app you were in.
Paste a link — type or paste a URL into the app. A partial address like cooking.blog/pesto works as well as a full one.
Clipboard detection — Saucier notices a recipe link already on your clipboard and offers to save it before you have typed anything.
Structured data parsing — most food sites publish machine-readable recipe data. Saucier reads it directly, which is why saving is instant.
AI extraction for everything else — where a page has no structured recipe, Apple Intelligence reads the prose on your device and writes the ingredient list and steps. This is what makes Instagram and TikTok captions work.
Reload from website — pull a fresh copy if the original has been corrected, and cancel mid-reload if you change your mind.
Add by hand — type a recipe in, including from a cookbook or a card. End a line with a colon to start a section like For the sauce:.

Ask Saucier

On-device assistant built on Apple Intelligence. Nothing is sent anywhere, and it works with no signal.
Answers from your library — “what can I make with eggs?” searches your own recipes by ingredient and by name.
Answers in cards, not prose — tap an ingredient in an answer to tick it off, see a single step on its own, or start cooking a result.
Substitutions with ratios and an honest note about what it changes.
Scaling — “make it for six” rescales the amounts.
Conversions — grams to ounces, and a straight answer about the conversions that depend on the ingredient.
Nutrition — ask about nutrition published with a recipe; a separate beta estimate can calculate approximate calories and macros from its ingredients.
Voice mode — it listens, answers out loud, and listens again.

Cook mode — one step at a time, large type, screen stays awake.
Tappable times and temperatures — tap a time inside a step to start a timer for it.
Highlighted ingredients — ingredients mentioned in a step link to your checklist, and tick off as you go.
Background timers that keep running when you leave the app, with notifications that take you back to the exact recipe and step.
Live Activities — time remaining on the Lock Screen.
Several at once — multiple timers, and more than one recipe on the go.
On Now — one screen listing everything currently cooking, reachable from anywhere in the app.
Grocery list — send one ingredient or a whole recipe to your Reminders grocery list, with a button that confirms it worked.

Week tab — put saved recipes into breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack slots.
Servings per meal — plan for the people eating that day without editing the original recipe.
One grocery list — gather and scale the ingredients from the week’s meals, combine matching items and group them by aisle.
Shop in Saucier — tick items off, share the list as text, or send unticked items to Reminders.
Nutrition estimates in beta — approximate calories and macros with ingredient coverage and the source shown alongside the result. Apple Intelligence or your own USDA FoodData Central key can provide estimates.

Edit every line — ingredients, steps, servings, nutrition, notes.
Re-parsed on save so edited amounts still scale and convert correctly.
Sections — group ingredients and steps under their own headings.
Bulk text editing for pasting a whole recipe in at once.
Photos — use your own, pick another from the source page, or crop.
Notes for what you would do differently next time.
Drafts are safe — the editor keeps your changes until you save, and asks before discarding.

Import from Paprika — .paprikarecipes and .paprikarecipe exports.
Import and export .sauce files — Saucier’s own format, backward compatible with every previous version.
Share a recipe as a file or as its original link.
Reviewed imports — you see what came across, and what has nowhere to go, before anything is written.

Recipes, Week and Ask tabs keep the three main areas one tap away.
iPhone and iPad, including side-by-side layouts on larger displays.
iPhone Duo — library and recipe together when open, controls on the side bar when closed.
Alternate app icons.
Dark mode, properly.
Dynamic Type — tested at the largest accessibility sizes, where controls stack rather than truncate.
VoiceOver labels on every icon-only control.
Reduce Motion honoured.
Works offline — everything except saving something new from the web.

Worth saying plainly, so you do not install it and go looking:

No pantry tracking.
No Mac, Windows, Android or web version — iPhone and iPad only.
The weekly meal plan stays on the device where you make it; recipes still sync over iCloud.
No recipe discovery feed. Saucier keeps the recipes you bring it.

If cross-platform access or a pantry is central to how you cook, there are apps that will serve you better, and this page says so in more detail.
