In Owen's world the fridge and pantry would know what they have, the amounts, and possibly location. The recipe book would be able to check what is in the fridge and pantry and tell if you need to buy more. It could then set the oven to the correct temperature when you reach the correct step in the recipe. Yes, all that could be done with servers on the pantry and fridge, but then there would be different implementations of each protocol and incompatibilities between the fridge, pantry, recipe book, and oven.
