To improve the number of young people with cooking skills and promote healthy home cooking, I propose a smart speaker-powered application called the “Kitchen Companion” that will be a personal culinary assistant in the home to provide users with a variety of recipes that improve the user’s health and saves them money. The “Kitchen Companion” will be split between two platforms Amazon Alexa and a linked website. The application will have four core features recipe recommendation, step-by-step guidance, ingredient substitution and expiry date tracking. The recipe recommendation feature will provide the user with personalised recipe recommendations based on the ingredients that the user has available encouraging more variety and healthy eating. The step-by-step guidance feature provides hands-free instructions on the preparation, cooking, and presentation of each of the recipes, teaching the user new cooking skills and techniques. The ingredient substitution feature is there to provide a wider range of recipes depending on if they don’t have a specific ingredient available which will reduce food waste and save money. The expiry date tracking feature is there to ensure that the user is aware of when their ingredients will expire by alerting them and prioritising the use of these ingredients in their recipes which will decrease food wastage.
