'Cookbook' is a personal kitchen journal that turns into a culinary project and ends up becoming your personal cookbook. It is a perfect fit if you want to get more creative with your cooking, but still make sure your ideas don’t melt away as fast as the food from your plates.
Cookbook has a unique interface that helps you develop signature recipes and create a culinary heritage. And what’s the best part? It’s not connected to your smartphone. It is a physical booklet that will become your trusted cooking companion and is destined to become your personal cookbook.
Other similar booklets are meant to simply copy and gather recipes of others. Cookbook’s idea and purpose is much different: after you equip the Cookbook with recipes of your choice, they simply serve as a starting point of your future cooking experiments. It features a development platform for every recipe where you can keep track of all the changes to the original recipe -- whether it’s tinkering with your cooking process or changing the ingredients. After each try, you can use the scoreboard to evaluate your dish, write down important notes for next time and keep a tab on who loves it the most.
The aim is to remind people that cooking is more than just following recipes. As the team puts it: ‘’We are hoping Cookbook will motivate people to develop their own recipes and create a culinary heritage, which they will be able to share with their friends, family and future generations."
Cookbook is something like the notebooks our grandmothers used to have, but with a modern twist.
