INTERACTIVE COOKBOOK:
"TRADITIONAL VAULES VS MODERN CONCEPT"
Inter-cooking is an interactive way to become familiarised with a healthier, educating way of cooking. It’s the perfect kitchen partner, with inter cooking there is no need to worry about space, its lightweight frame and thin design allows the product to either neatly rest on its accompanied stand or simply sit in its given place. But wait there’s more…. worried about turning those crisp pages, well no need. Another great dimension to inter cooking is that there are no pages; in fact you don’t have to batter an eye lid. Inter-cooking works on an interactive system where by the user is navigated through dictation.
The progress of computer technology into everyday consumer applications makes possible new applications that interact with people in their very own homes, helping those complete everyday tasks and acquire new skills. Inter-cooking is to help entice healthier cooking and promote a growing interest when exploring food.

If your product is meant to promote healthier eating, maybe you could develop a feature that allows for the user to give some information about themselves, weight / allergies / skin problems / diabetes ect, so that the cookbook can suggest meals that will be personalized to the user.
