With the KitchenSync, users view recipes stored on a home computer without bringing an expensive laptop into the kitchen. A lightweight peripheral that connects to a home network, its stationary dock is stored safely out of the way and is a hub for the book and add-ons. The book can be held in the hand or sit on a countertop; dirty fingers can touch the washable book's touchscreens. Users can chat online about the recipe or learn to cook with step-by-step instructions, creating a richer cooking experience.
