  How does the kitchen work? There is a computer in the kitchen. With this computer,the users can first choose a French recipe that they want to follow. Using information in the computer,the kitchen starts to guide the users how to make a French dish. If you follow the instructions on the computer,it moves on to the next. If you go wrong,the program goes back and repeats the recipe or information. At any time,the users can also ask the kitchen to repeat the recipe or any information.
