Interactive

The Bookery Cook Interactive is currently being exhibited at 2010 Shape of Things to Come exhibition.

The Bookery Cook is an interactive work that brings the household cookbook to life. The work extends itself beyond paper and places itself upon the hub of the home, the refrigerator. By drawing on the themes of the timeless family recipe book you are able to browse through recipes by matching ingredients together. Built using modern database and flash technologies, magnetic tiles allow you to find a recipe based on a combination of ingredients.

The Bookery Cook Interactive is an innovative medium for accessing recipes contained within a work-in-progress cookbook of the same name. The illustrations are designed to represent each ingredient with dramatic line, colour and patterns to inspire and extend the palate visually. The ingredient tiles are the focus of the work, as are the ingredients that constitute a meal.

The work targets our biggest and perhaps most cherished form of consumption. By designing itself into a home's refrigerator, it provides a functional and fun interaction for home inhabitants to create, cook, and colour their kitchen with food!
