I've got a deskmate program for the Tandy 1000 that was for kitchens.
It included recipes, grocery lists and other kitchen orientated things. A family
message centre, "John, the leftover meatloaf is in the fridge. Dolly, dont forget
to take your show-and-tell to school. "
Can't remember it's name and it's buried somewhere here.

I'm sure most people on the list are familiar with
Honeywell's Kitchen
Computer. And then there are also plenty of more recent attempts to
computerize the kitchen these days: The Electrolux fridge computer,
3COM's aborted Audrey internet appliance, and a whole range of systems
from South Korea's LG Electronics.
But what of the intervening years? What was going on during the 1970s
and 1980s to conquer the kitchen with computer technology; either with
software or hardware? I've vague recollections of commercial software
being availble for 80s era microcomputers--things like recipe databases
software--but I can't come up with any specific examples.
Does anyone here know of other classic computer kitchen automation
products from bygone decades?
