The robot has learned 50 recipes by mimicking human chefs who, for the sake Moley's recipe database, wore motion sensors on their hands as they cooked. Tim Anderson, the 2011 winner of the BBC’s MasterChef competition and owner of Japanese soul food restaurant Nanban in London, came up with the first batch of recipes—crab bisque, for example, and cod with pesto sauce, all with nutritional information included. Moley is recruiting other chefs to add recipes. Eventually, users may be able to upload videos of themselves preparing family recipes. The robot could then learn the recipes from these videos and take over in the making of Grandma's marinara.
In addition to the touch screen on the unit, Moley Robotics is developing an app, so that owners of the kitchen can select a meal from the iTunes-like recipe library, even when they are away from home. The robot will start making dinner just as they're leaving work.

Heh. Cool concept. Not sure the spousal unit would want me to wander into the kitchen with a bucket of brass, bullets, primers and powder though

In a shocking turn of events, the worlds kitchen bots appear to have risen up against their owners. We've got widespread reports of brutal murders involving a whisk and eggs.

I'm gonna be a buzzkill here. A human will still need to buy the ingredients, wash the produce, unpack items, and place them.
Knowing the human race, I predict it would be used more for sexual gratification than anything else.
Don't leave a loaded gun on the counter, it just might shoot you with it. Guns don't kill people, robots do. ( a Phillip K. Dick prediction)

Asimov's three rules need to start getting embedded into this stuff.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm by eating at Taco Bell.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law or result in overcooked pasta.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
