Amar description :
Rubicona is designed as a multi-function kitchen which is combined from different components that are independent from each other and that can be used depending on the user’s request. Starting point for the kitchen was Rubicon square, which has evaluated and taken its current shape. Characteristics of Rubicona is that it is combined from different components (flat cook, sink for vegetables and fruits etc.) and each is combined from two levels of storages with 6 elements in each level, which enables to keep different kinds of fresh food (fruits and vegetables), so they are not mixed, and each keeps its own aroma and freshness. Each storage element has an opening from front side in the shape of a cut which works as a hook to open and also has a function of air circulation which enables food to stay fresh. Each level can be rotated for 360 degrees and that enables taking food without moving, no matter from which level! With the aid of rotating elements, cooking with more than one person at the same time is possible, whereby cooking becomes more interesting and more exciting.

miBook Title Topics

Cooking

Not since the Joy of Cooking was published in 1931 has there been a major update to the cookbook – until now. miBook takes the guesswork out of translating a recipe on the page into a feast on the table. Step-by-step, miBook shows home cooks exactly how to cook a recipe, including what the dish should look like at every stage and how to do everything from sauté to flambé. miBook stops automatically after each step to allow the cook to perform the action. When ready, the cook pushes play to move on.

miBook also aids in choosing a recipe, which can be a task in itself. Simply select your desired main ingredient (beef, chicken, fish, pasta, etc.), cooking method (grilling, pan-frying, broiling, etc.), and the amount of time you have, and miBook automatically serves up the recipes that match your criteria.

miBook cooking titles include: Quick & Easy Meals, Irresistible Desserts, Healthy Cooking, Pastas Pizzas & Salads, Amazing Party Food: Appetizers & Desserts, and Healthy Cooking for Kids. Each title features 150 recipes, including ones featured on popular Food Network shows such as 30 Minute Meals with Rachael Ray, Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller, Cooking Class with Wolfgang Puck, Ace of Cakes, Food 911, and Food Nation with Bobby Flay.

Home and Garden

Whether trying to fix a leaky faucet, redecorate a room, plant a tree, or build a deck, it helps to see exactly how it’s done. miBook goes step-by-step with up-close video clips to ensure that home projects get done correctly the first time.

Decorating and gardening titles guide users through both design and execution. The Home Decorating title, for example, helps decorators choose from suggested room styles, color palettes, furniture layouts, wall treatments, and more.
