QOOQ culinary tablet in English

The French tablet computer for culinary use in now available in English. Called the QOOQ, the gadget is preloaded with international multimedia recipes, ingredient fact sheets and meal-planning tools.

“We saw an opportunity to merge technology and content to create a richer and more tactile form of recipe preparation. The QOOQ tablet offers users interaction with top chefs and allows them to learn every nuance of their favourite dish, helping them improve their own talents, making life simpler in the kitchen,” says product inventor Jean-Yves Hepp who is also president and founder of UNOWHY, the French company that launched the English version.

With this tablet, users can learn directly from some of Europe’s leading chefs including Michelin-starred chef Emmanuel Renaut of Le Flocon de Sel restaurant in Megève (south-eastern of France). The QOOQ comes with 1,000 international recipes that can be accessed by cuisine type, difficulty level, preparation time and ingredients, helping to customise the cooking experience to suit the chef and his or her kitchen. At the touch of a button, users can purchase additional recipes, which are available individually or in themed packs and are focused on such topics as a destination, an ingredient or a specific chef. There is a catalogue of over 4,000 exclusive multimedia recipes made for QOOQ by more than 100 chefs.

The recipes are presented in a step-by-step interactive guide to create a variety of dishes through real-time high definition video, photos and text. The chefs explain in detail every step in the recipe preparation, guiding users through the preparation, from choosing ingredients to the final presentation.

Video speed is controlled by the user, and videos can be paused as the user accesses separate tutorials that explain specific culinary techniques. Behind-the-scene footages of the chefs’ restaurants, as well as hundreds of ingredient fact sheets that detail how individual products should be chosen, kept and cooked, are available. For the health-conscious, recipe pages detail the calories contained in a dish and the Meal Planner function allows users to monitor and vary their diets.

“No matter the dietary requirements or preferences, restrictions or time constraints, the QOOQ is the multimedia culinary coach that can guide anyone, regardless of previous cooking experience,“ says Jean-Yves Hepp.
