Cooklet.com launched (Open Screen Project funded)
Very recently I was speaking at a press conference of a new culinary service called Cooklet.com. Okay, you may be wondering what my role at that event. So first of all, the Cooklet team is located out of Wroclaw/Poland, but this obviously isn’t the primary reason 
What really brought me there is the fact that Cooklet is using a lot of Adobe technology, specifically our Platform technologies. Cooklet.com itself is a standard HTML based website but at the same time it has a desktop version that runs with Adobe AIR. There is also Cooklet Mobile built with Flash Lite and hosted as an application in the Nokia OVI store. Another very important fact is that this project was funded by the Open Screen Project initiative; you can find more details here as well a registration form to apply yourself.
The service itself has some unique and interesting features. What I really like is in-browser drag-and-drop capability that you can use to add new recipes to your cookbook or shopping list. The really cool thing here is that when you drag the recipe to the cooking list you instantly get access to it from your mobile phone. Another really cool thing is that the recipes get automatically translated into different languages. In the future this may give its users access to really tasty recipes from different cuisine.
Additionally the desktop version gives you offline access to your recipes that you may need in your kitchen. Also it has a great user experience and interactions that mimic reading real printed version of a cookbook.
Obviously Cooklet.com has much more interesting features and I encourage you to give it a try.
Check out the Cooklet Lite demo video below. Now I’m just waiting for the Cooklet team to provide an AIR for Mobile version that I can run on my Nexus One phone ;)
