Chefi Uses Cell Phone to Teach You How to Cook

My latest obsession involves cooking, so I was happy to hear the perfect cooking companion is coming to our cell phone. Tired of eating junkfood as a student, Igor Ginzburg developed a cell phone application that guides young cooks through meal preparation. Instead of calling Mom for tips, users summon Chefi from their mobile phone for step-by-step cooking instructions of their favorite meals.

A community website hasn't been set up as of this posting, but once it goes live, it will allow users to upload recipes they can later download to their mobile phone. The program is voice-activated, so you never have to touch your cell phone while you're in the kitchen. You simply load the recipe, and wait for Chefi to start guiding you through each step using voice commands. It even alerts you when cooking time is up for each item, and recommends other dishes that may compliment your meal. I can't think of a better way to learn how to cook in the digital age, except maybe having a cooking program that doesn't always require a mobile phone (they're not exactly kitchen material).
