Food resource website Epicurious has extended its service by creating an app that's compatible with Amazon's Alexa.
The app serves as a voice-activated cooking assistant, that fields questions related to meal preparation or ingredient details. For example, if a chef is pondering the proper temperature to cook a medium rare steak, one can simply ask the question aloud to Alexa. Paired with Epicurious' food knowledge, the personal home assistant is able to provide more accurate and targeted answers.
Through the voice-activated application, those preparing meals can do so without having to open a secondary app, flip through a cookbook or search the web. By redirecting the question to one's existing Amazon Alexa, both seasoned and novice chefs are offered a more streamlined means of cooking.
