SousChef 1.0

New $30 “digital cooking assistant” from Acacia Tree Software. Lets you publish and share recipes with other SousChef users, and will find recipes based on the ingredients you have at hand. And I love this idea:

It doesn’t make any sense to print out a recipe every time you want to cook, so SousChef includes a ten foot mode so you can place your computer somewhere safe but still read your recipes from across the room. Ten foot mode features a high contrast fullscreen display with smooth transitions and only the info you need to know. While in ten foot mode SousChef can read your recipes to you and can be controlled via speech or a remote.
