Abstract
A computer system monitors food preparation. Images of food preparation by a user are captured via one or more image capture devices disposed within an area containing food preparation items. A food preparation process being performed by the user is determined. Image processing is performed on the captured images to monitor the food preparation process and detect an event. The user is notified of the detected event, and provided information pertaining to the event. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for monitoring food preparation in substantially the same manner described above.
