What should I cook today?

By Kavitha KK, May 20, 2015

For some, or maybe most, this could be one of the toughest questions on earth. We have an exacting job, and have a home to take care of, mouths to feed. What should I cook today? Are the right ingredients available? Is this really the right and healthy food for me and my family? These agonizing questions, after a long arduous day at work, can make a person even more fatigued and preoccupied, and any compromises here could have a direct implication on our family’s health. So, I, being on the wrong side of technology (yes, the side that creates it) keep wondering how technology can help me answer this question, and better still answer it in the best possible way.

‘What if’!

I often conjure up a situation like this. What if there was a wearable technology that kept a ‘watch’ [notice the pun? ;)] on my family’s health – parameters like BP, sugar, energy, fatigue, stress etc. – and does an aggregation. Considering this daily aggregate, it accesses a set of recipes and menus that are available on the cloud and chooses the most ideally suited menu for the evening. It then connects to the refrigerator to check for the required inventory of vegetables and other ingredients and places an order with the online store for any item that falls short, with an automatic debit on my debit card. This automatically triggers an order with the store to deliver the same to my home. I, sitting at my desk, get an alert on the menu for the day and the corresponding recipes.

And what I do? Get back home feeling totally empowered, organized and in control. With all the nagging questions, logistics handled, the evening goes off like a breeze. My family gets the food that’s just right for them, all thanks to my new kitchen buddy – a seamless IoT assembly that links wearables, appliances, eCommerce and works inconspicuously in the background to do what? Make life easy for people like me.

Dessert, anyone?
