TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Dr. Dot. The daily five minute skilled emotion. For everyone who's simply dotting about an accent.

Hey guys, Robin here. Today we are going to look at the built in recipe functionality of the A-Lady in a recent weekly newsletter from Amazon. It's said to ask her for an easy dinner recipe. Now way back towards the beginning of Dr.

Dot. We covered the fact that you can ask her for such and such recipe, you know, a recipe, chocolate cake recipe, whatever it might be. But easy dinner recipe sounds really good. So we're going broad with a kind of meal like dinner, what suitable for dinner and we're also going easy.

So I think this was something we should definitely revisit. So let's give it a go. A little bit. So give me an easy dinner recipe.

OK, the dinner. I recommend best Yorkshire Puddings from BBC Good Food. 25 minutes to make. What would you like?

Start recipe. Send it to your phone or hear next recipe. Hear next recipe. Next is Seabass with Sizzle Ginger.

Chilean Spring Onions from BBC Good Food. 25 minutes to make. Serve six. You can say, start recipe, center phone or next.

Start recipe. Seabass with Sizzle Ginger. Chilean Spring Onions from BBC Good Food. There are seven 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 six ex-seabass, fillets, about 140 grams slash five ounces each, skin on and scaled, and about three tablespoons sunflower oil.

When you've got those, just say, continue. Continue. Large knob of ginger, peeled and shredded into matchsticks and three-garned cloves, thinly sliced. Now, after a while, she stops listening.

So if you want to say, continue or next, then you would have to say the A-lady's name. I'll do that in a moment. But also to flag that if you then open her up by asking her for another type of recipe, like a quick lunch time recipe or a supper snack or something, and then you pick a different recipe, she'll ask you if you wanted to abandon where you were on the other recipe, so she does remember that until the next time you open it. So you can take as long as you like gathering your ingredients and doing your steps.

So let's give it a go. Alle. So next. Three fat, fresh red chilies, decidently shredded and bunchedring onion, shredded longways.

Next. One tablespoon soy sauce. That's all the ingredients. When you're ready, say instructions.

Instructions. Huh. Alle. C'est instructions.

Step one. Season six sea bass fillets with salt and pepper. Then slash the skin three times. Oof.

It's probably always best to say her name. Just be sure. Alle. So next.

Step two. Heat a heavy-based frying pan and add one tablespoon sunflower oil. OK, then. We'll leave that there.

So yeah, really good. Now, you guys might be thinking, well, this recipe, as well. Do you remember recipe? Well, I've got news.

If you haven't opened it recently, let's just try and open it now. Alle. Because I opened recipe here. Thank you for visiting recipe here.

This service is now closed. Goodbye. Yeah. So not your usual message, like, you know, the recipe to your skill is no longer available.

You get a snazzy message telling you that it's no longer available. So obviously their servers are still up. But for whatever reason, yeah, it's no longer available. Not it's currently not available.

So yeah, I always thought the recipe was built in, like Wikipedia, and that they would always be there. But no. So yeah, the recipe here is no more, but we can still ask the lady loads of stuff about recipes. Cool.

This is Robin signing off. And we'll speak in tomorrow. Feedback comments to most, the.to.podcast and gmail.com. Freecast.fm.
