Cookbooks have seemingly gone the way of the newspaper because the Archos ChefPad looks to replace your [favorite book of recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookedwiki) with a streamlined tablet that's ready for the kitchen. The Archos ChefPad works just like a standard tablet, but offers aspiring chefs access to Chef Apps, which boasts a seemingly endless [array of recipes, cooking tips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recipe-hub1) and even [assistance applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooksy1).

Sporting a dual-core 1.6GHz processor and 8GB of storage, the Archos ChefPad is a fantastic product for culinary school students or even an aspiring chef who loves to cook in their spare time. What's great about the device is that while it will look to replace your dusty old cookbook, it isn't a standalone device and can easily replace rival tablets to become an innovative, all-in-one touchscreen solution.
