Cooking Naturally
Cooking Naturally aims to change people’s use of food resources, reducing waste by creating a direct channel between people and the information cloud surrounding the theme. All, a kitchen device that allows a better exploitation of this information, is both a display appliance and a filter which adapts its behaviour according to the user’s habits.
It is designed for people living in shared accommodation or alone. Due to their living conditions and lifestyles, and to how food is currently distributed and sold, these are the categories most exposed to food waste. Through All, such people can receive advice on grocery shopping and food conservation, preparation and consumption. As it is used, All learns to recognize its users, improving the advice depending on each individual’s behaviour.
All is used in the kitchen during food preparation and consumption. It can recognize the person using it and understand words and gestures. All integrates itself in the habitual dynamics of this environment. Making people concentrate on normal tasks, like preparing a recipe or conserving food, it becomes a tool that improves the experience of responsible cooking, not the focus of the experience.

Cooking Naturally
Cooking Naturally è un progetto che mira a cambiare il comportamento delle persone nei confronti dell’utilizzo delle risorse alimentari diminuendone lo spreco, creando un canale diretto tra le persone e la nuvola d’informazione presente attorno al tema.
È progettato per le persone che vivono in situazioni di affitto condiviso o da sole. Queste, a causa delle proprie condizioni abitative e dell’attuale sistema di distribuzione e vendita dei prodotti alimentari, sono le categorie maggiormente esposte allo spreco alimentare.
All è progettato per fare in modo che le persone si focalizzino sui normali compiti, come la preparazione di una ricetta o la conservazione degli alimenti, diventando strumento che aiuta a migliorare l’esperienza di una cucina responsabile e non oggetto protagonista dell’esperienza.
