I would install MythTV in the kitchen if there were a decent
MythRecipe application.

Not that I know of.

Editing the recipes or just adding notes from the kitchen with just
a touch screen is a must. Conversions would be nice, and automatic
scaling of a recipe for a different serving size would be nice (simple
scaling is sometimes impossible with baked goods, but usually works
for other foods.)

Make something that compiles, complies with the coding standards and
doesn't crash too much. Stick around for a while so we know you will
maintain the code. Try to use MythUI, feel free to ask us to port
the widgets you need from the old UI code, though we may just suggest
using an existing MythUI component creatively.
