Development of mobile-based simulator for Recipe Learning

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the study
In recent years, the widespread use of mobile technology has transformed how people access information and interact with digital content. From education to healthcare, mobile applications have provided innovative ways to enhance learning, preserve culture, and deliver services more efficiently. Food and culinary traditions are vital elements of culture heritage, yet his preservation and dissemination of traditional recipes have not kept pace with digital innovation.
Many traditional cooking techniques and recipes, especially those pass down orally, are at risk of being forgotten. These recipes are often region-specific, requiring detailed knowledge of ingredients, preparation techniques, and cultural contexts. Unfortunately, younger generations may have limited access to this knowledge due to modernization, urban migration, or lifestyle changes.
To bridge this gap, a mobile-based simulator for traditional recipes present an innovative solution. Such an application can serve as a virtual cooking guide, offering users step-by-step interactive simulations of traditional cooking processes. With embedded audio-visual content, tutorials, ingredients list, and possibly even gamified features, user can experience and learn traditional cooking techniques directly from their smartphone.
