Crouton: Import the recipe. Cook without touching the screen.
Crouton gathers recipes from websites, photos, and scanned cookbook pages, then carries them into meal planning and a guided cooking view with hands-free wink controls.
The recipe manager becomes useful when it leaves the library.
A recipe home that turns scattered sources into a hands-free cooking flow.
Crouton solves both ends of the cooking loop: it reduces the work of collecting recipes, then turns the result into an interface that still works when your hands are occupied. The wink control is memorable because it serves the exact moment recipe software usually becomes inconvenient.
