Dot to Dot, the daily five minutes of the day show. For everyone who's simply dotting about, Alexa. Hey guys, Robin here. Today we are going to look at a skill, recommended by Adrian, friend of the show, and it's called CKBK.
It's a cookbook, and I guess with all the vowels taken out. And it's, I think, a good thing to think about for Valentine's Day, to cook a meal for your significant other. So yeah, why not go here? This isn't just a random collection of recipes.
The website CKBK.com features published recipe books. Now it's a membership scenario, but there is a free trial, but let's see what the skill has to offer. Alexa, open CKBK. Welcome to CKBK powered by Tiny Chef.
What would you like to cook today? Pasta. You got it. For a delicious pasta recipe we can whip up right away.
Tell me, what ingredients do you have in your fridge? Tomatoes, garlic, feta. Okay, let me give you the top three pasta tomatoes and garlic recipes. Best macaroni cheese.
Orzo risotto with garlic, herbs, and tomatoes. And penning with aubergine and garlic. Would you like to pick one of these? Number two.
Do you want to hear the ingredients of orzo risotto with garlic, herbs, and tomatoes, or hear its recipe steps? Ingredients. Okay, the ingredients that you will need are, about one third cup, 80 milliliters, olive oil. One cup, 120 grams, finely chopped onions.
Four cloves garlic, thinly sliced. One pound, 500 grams, orzo. What is it, orzo? Half cup, 120 milliliters, white wine.
Oh, that's out. Seven to eight cups, 1.72 liters, very hot vegetable broth. Oh. One to two teaspoon maras pepper or a good pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
To taste. Half cup, 30 grams, chopped fresh red leaf parsley. Three tablespoon chopped fresh dill. That's got lots in it.
Half cup, 30 grams, chopped fresh basil leaves. Wow. Three tablespoon chopped fresh mint. Two tablespoon chopped fresh oregano all the time.
Gosh. Twelve pieces tomato confit. See note. See note.
One cup, 120 grams, crumbled feta cheese, plus more for serving. Maybe I did remember the feta. Freshly ground black pepper and finely sweet of four tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro. Optional.
Wow. Would you like to start with the recipe steps? Stop. Okay, come find me when you are hungry.
Okay. Now, in the kitchen we have the Echo Show 10, with a nice big screen, and hopefully those will have come up on the screen as well. Maybe even pictures of the recipe suggested. I don't know.
Sorry about that. But when you ask the A-lady herself for recipes, they do. So, let's not forget that we can ask the A-lady to give me a risotto recipe. Okay.
For risotto, I recommend mushroom risotto from BBC Good Food. 30 minutes to make. Steps 4. What would you like?
Start recipe. Send it to your phone. Or hear next recipe. Start recipe.
Mushroom risotto from BBC Good Food. There are 11 ingredients. Would you like to gather ingredients? Or hear the instructions?
Gather ingredients. At any time, ask me to repeat. Or start instructions. You'll need 50 grams dried porcini, mushrooms, and one vegetable stock.
Cube. When you've got those, just say, continue. Continue. Two tablespoons olive oil, and one onion, finely chopped.
I wonder how long it carries on waiting for me to say that word. Hopefully forever. Stop. Okay.
I think you would have to say A-lady continue if you don't do it straight away. But that's fine. There you go. So, two suggestions there.
CKBK looks really good. I think I prefer how you are asked to step through here with the built-in functionality, though. Gives you a little bit more time to grab the ingredients. I'm sure with the other one, you can say repeat, etc.
as well. And it might even come up on the screen, which is good. Cool. There you go, guys.
I hope you have a brilliant time cooking for your partner, and enjoy the meal and the day itself. This is Robin signing off, and we will speak again tomorrow. Hey, guys. Robin here again.
Don't forget that The Echo Show, which is a longer version of Dot2Dot, and with the lovely, amazing Sean Preece. Lots of banter, loads of demos, much longer. Each episode is still available in your favourite podcatching app, The Echo Show. And even though we're on a bit of a hiatus at the moment, there are over 130 juicy episodes to get your teeth into.
Here's a quick flavour. Yes, I'm ready. What? Was that a joke?
Oh, I always love the escape room ones. Let's go with that. Okay, good. Good choice.
Ominous. You are on the street. You have zero gold coins. This is one of my favourite skills.
Just look at what you had there. Hello. My name's Pete, and this is my pub quiz. Next up, history.
This is a royal question. Got to love the royals in chat. We're going to demo them, and we're going to rate them with our thumbs, apparently. So that's good.
I can't wait. And if you still want to listen after hearing that, The Echo Show. The Echo Show. Recast.fm
