coo.boo: The Digital Cookbook
It’s not a farfetched idea for cookbooks to take the route of iPods. Though still a concept by Swiss designer Philipp Gilgen at this stage, the coo.boo could very well be on its way into your kitchen soon. The technology is already available, and I’m sure today’s wired cooks will welcome such a portable and easy-to-use helper in the kitchen. I don’t even own an iPod, but the coo.boo is something I see myself using someday.
Here’s a description of coo.boo, which won a 2007 Concept Award from International Forum Design (iF):
coo.boo is a digital cookbook that can be used and stored alongside your other kitchen tools. Although it is a high-tech digital device, coo.boo can be held like a spatula, placed on the work surface and hung up next to the dipper and beater. The washable coo.boo fits better into the kitchen environment than any printed cookbook. Furthermore the use of digital recipes allows a variety of new functions. The cook can choose the degree of support wanted, from simply displaying recipes to full audiovisual cooking lessons. Recipes stored on the user’s computer are automatically synchronized through the wireless docking station on the rack.
