KitchenPC

Wait, is this thing still alive?

Well, according to WordPress, I have about 20 active subscribers. That means there’s about 20 of you who are seeing this post pop up in your inbox making you think, “Wait.. what was that thing again?” Yes, it’s been many years. KitchenPC was an amazing project and a highlight of my long career in tech. Being involved in the Seattle startup ecosystem was rewarding as well as a huge boost to my career trajectory.

So, I have a context. Now what?

Now, you can interact with KitchenPC and experiment. It doesn’t matter what context you’re using, all the code will be the same. This allows you to quickly change contexts without changing any of your application code. For the most part, interacting with KitchenPC is done fluently using one of the five action categories. Recipes context.Recipes allows you to interact with recipes into the database.

What is the KitchenPC Platform?

Therefore, today, KitchenPC is being re-invented as an open source platform used to provide a standardized model for interacting with recipes, shopping lists, and menus. I’ve stripped out all the UI components from KitchenPC and re-organized the code as a set of APIs used for working with recipe related data. These APIs are database agnostic and fully extensible to encapsulate a wide variety of uses.
