Abstract Meal preparation is undoubtedly an important daily activity for the vast majority of individuals. Not only because food is essential for our survival, since it offers the necessary nutrients to our body, but also due to the fact that cooking is a pleasant activity offering multiple benefits (e.g. leisure, relaxation, creativity, training). Nevertheless, cooking is not straightforward; on the contrary, it constitutes a complicated process, which entails intuition, self-organization, coordination, monitoring and execution of multiple tasks simultaneously, while it depends on the cook’s ability to manage (even with great precision) the necessary time constraints. Given the iterative nature of cooking, along with its complexity and importance, various attempts have been made to enhance the cooking process, by devising technological solutions. Especially during the last few years, an abundance of smart devices, objects and services have been gradually integrated in a non-intrusive and often transparent way into domestic environments, offering various opportunities to the inhabitants. The AmIChef platform is a context-sensitive cooking system that supports the resident of an Intelligent Home while preparing a meal in the kitchen, by providing interactive, multimodal, intuitive, and personalized support, while simplifying the overall process by reducing the user’s mental load. The user, interacts with the technological equipment of the Smart Kitchen, which mainly consists of large interactive displays, in order to: a) browse recipes, b) manage kitchen inventory, c) plan meals, and d) navigate across previously prepared meals. AmIChef enables users to initially browse through automatically curated lists of recipes (based on their personal profile), then customize them according to their preferences, and finally execute them while receiving real-time feedback with respect to the steps, ingredients, utensils, time, and actions to be taken. In particular, AmIChef, for each step, presents the ingredients and the cooking utensils users have to collect from the surrounding environment along with the actions they need to perform. The AmIChef’s objective is to ensure that a user can prepare a meal easily, quickly, safely and efficiently. This thesis: (a) presents an approach towards supporting the meal preparation process from the perspective of intelligent environments; (b) reports on existing systems highlighting their shortcomings and the potential for improvements; (c) describes the adopted design methodology and the functionality of AmIChef; and (d) documents the results of a series of expert-based evaluation in the context of an Intelligent Home.
