Research Interests:
My research investigates how cooks interact with recipe instructions to inform the design of interactive recipe systems to help cooks with everyday recipes. My research draws on instructional design findings, usability studies, sociology of cooking and interactive design.
My PhD is funded through the White Rose group of Yorkshire universities.
