Echo Show and Alexa

Cook with your hands full.

Forkato Kitchen puts your recipes on Echo Show. Alexa reads each step out loud, keeps your place, and puts what you are missing on the same list as your phone.

Or just say "Alexa, enable Forkato Kitchen"

Example. Your own dinner plan shows here.

  • "what's for dinner"Tonight's plan, and when to start
  • "what's the meal plan"The whole week, day by day
  • "surprise me"A recipe from your library

  • "next"Reads the next step
  • "go back"The step before
  • "repeat that"Says it again
  • "what step am I on"When you lose your place

Shopping list

  • "add eggs to my shopping list"Lands on the same list as your phone

Cook mode, out loud

Every step fills the screen in big type, read out as you go. Say "next" with flour on your hands. Lose your place and ask which step you are on.

  • Steps big enough to read from the stove
  • Next, back and repeat by voice
  • Works on Echo devices without a screen too: every answer is spoken
Example step from a saved recipe.

One shopping list

"Alexa, add eggs to my shopping list" puts eggs on the Forkato list your phone already has, sorted by aisle for your store. Everyone in your house sees it change live.

Example list.

The house votes on dinner

Put two or three dishes up for Friday and everyone votes from their phone, or from the kitchen: "Alexa, ask Forkato Kitchen what's the vote." Echo can remind the people who have not voted yet.

Example vote.
