Traditional recipes are the static products of an empirical, off-line procedure, and contain implicit environmental assumptions, as they are devised based on the exact ingredients and household devices that were available in the environment where they were created. When the parameters of the environment in which a dish is being cooked do not match those of the one in which the corresponding recipe was prepared, frustration is imminent.

We present our work on dynamic service composition to facilitate adaptive coordination of smart home environments, and focus on su-chef, an application of these techniques in the cooking domain. We present initial evaluation results demonstrating that our implementation provides a practical and scalable solution.
