Acacia Tree Software has released SousChef for the Mac. The digital cooking assistant software supports an online cloud concept for finding recipes, ranks recipes based on available ingredients, and can suggest substitute ingredients when needed. The software offers a ten-foot mode that features a high-contrast, full screen display for working with messy, computer-unfriendly ingredients while tracking recipes. It also supports reading recipes and can be controlled via voice recognition or Apple Remote.

SousChef is available now for download for an introductory price of $30. It runs on Mac OS X 10.4.9 or higher and features iChat video sharing when used on Mac OS X 10.5 or above. An Internet connection is recommended for SousChef's cloud features.
