Voice-Controlled Cooking Companion Kit

A downloadable build package for a low-cost ESP32-S3 countertop cooking companion that answers recipe questions by voice.

Build package

A countertop recipe helper for hands-busy cooking.

Build a small countertop recipe helper that records cooking questions, sends them to a recipe helper server, and plays spoken answers back through the device. The kit is designed for makers who want to learn from the full system: hardware references, Arduino firmware, server/API expectations, and enclosure files.

What it does

  • Hold the Talk button to ask a recipe question.
  • Hear spoken answers through the onboard speaker.
  • Use the Next button to move through recipe steps.
  • Read device state through the RGB LED.
  • Connect the device to a local or hosted recipe helper backend.

What buyers receive

  • Parts shopping list
  • Build and wiring notes
  • Arduino firmware for the ESP32-S3
  • Server/API setup guidance
  • 3D-printable enclosure model
  • Hardware reference materials
