Abstract

An important barrier to healthful eating is a lack of cooking competence. To assist people who are motivated to increase their cooking competence, we envision a context-aware kitchen that offers a recipe retrieval and recommendation system. Preceding the system design we conducted an at-home observation study to identify a meaningful set of utensils that can provide insights into the cooking process. Accelerometers embedded into these utensils provide relevant context information for the recipe recommender system to select the meals that fit the user's meal preferences and cooking competence.
