I received the below information from one of the cooking lists that I am on. I have not tried this app yet as it is still downloading.  It is a free app & received good marks from AppleViz.

Description of App:
Yes Chef is the hands free cooking app that talks you through recipes, and answers your questions. Use your voice to work through recipes and keep your hands free to make great food! Yes Chef offers over 350,000 recipes -- what will you make today?

Yes Chef will find you recipes, read you recipes, and answer recipe questions. Yes Chef can answer questions like:

“Chef, how do I make Ratatouille?”
“Chef, what temperature do I set the oven to?”
“Chef, what’s the next step?”
“Chef, is it baking powder or baking soda?”

STEP BY STEP RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

>From prep to plate, Yes Chef is entirely hands free. With the knife in one hand, all you have to say is, “Chef, let’s get started.” If you’re cooking chili from scratch, Yes Chef may say “Dice the tomatoes.” Once you finish dicing tomatoes, simply say “next step” and the app continues to read the recipe aloud.
Yes Chef will guide your cooking to new heights.

THE CONVERSATIONAL KITCHEN

Yes Chef is the first iOS voice-controlled natural language cooking app, making technology less detectable and more useful in the kitchen. If you don’t understand a step in the recipe, you can ask follow up questions, and because the app is hands free, it won’t matter how grimy your fingers are.
Our technology
allows you to create deep cooking conversations with Yes Chef’s deep learning engine.

THE PERFECT RECIPE

Yes Chef offers over 350,000 recipes! They are searchable by popularity, keyword and filterable by cuisine. Whatever you want to eat, Yes Chef knows a way to cook it.

Put your cookbooks down, and get more active in the kitchen. Time to make it a little easier to prep, master new culinary techniques, and eat new recipes that inspire you.
