Why Chef Souvenir
Built for the recipes you won’t find anywhere else.
It reads your grandmother’s handwriting
Tight cursive, faded ink, stained paper: the photo is brightened first, then read line by line. Quantities, units, steps — all structured.
It tells you when it’s unsure
Instead of guessing “50” or “500”, Chef Souvenir highlights the line and lets you decide.
A truly private book
Stored in Europe, visible to your account only, no public photos.
Found in two letters
“cr” → crêpes, crème brûlée, crumble.
A clean PDF card
Print it for the kitchen or send it to the family.
In your pocket
SoonThe iPhone and Android app is coming: scan straight from the spice cupboard.

FAQ
What people ask before starting.
My grandmother’s handwriting is really hard to read. Will it work?
Often, yes: the photo is brightened before reading, which helps a lot with faded ink. When a line stays uncertain, Chef Souvenir highlights it instead of making something up — you fix it in one click.
Who can see my recipes?
Only you. Photos are stored in Europe in a private space, served only to your account, and deleted with the recipe.
What happens to my photo while it’s read?
Our photo-reading algorithm extracts the text. The photo and the recipe are then kept in your private space, in Europe.
How much does it cost?
Your first 10 recipes are free, no credit card. After that, the Vault is €4.99 a month, no commitment, for unlimited recipes. The printed book, a linen A4 hardcover, costs €59 (24 pages), €89 (48 pages) or €119 (100 pages), shipping included.
Can I get my recipes out?
Yes. Every card exports as a PDF, and you can delete a recipe — with its photo — at any time.
The best time to save a recipe is before it fades.
