I love that recipes is always used as a way of explaining how useful consumer technology is. I think Apple Lisa had an ad with a women using it in the kitchen.

You'd think that recipes present our biggest problem needing a technological fix.

BTW: I agree that if it's cheap, easy & nice, there'll be all sort of uses for it.

I think this H316 tops that quite nicely: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=927

Not only does it store recipes, it has an integrated cutting board!

Well well. So now I know.

We've come a long way. From $10.6k, 70kg recipe computer with an integrated cutting board, to a $200, 0.5 kg recipe computer with touch screen.

The start-up that finally cracks this recipe problem will really make it.
