SOLUTION: A recipe information server 2 searches a recipe database 202 for a target dish and extracts search candidates using information indicating features of a dish inputted using an information terminal 1 as search conditions, and transmits an attribute information record indicating features of the search candidates to the information terminal 1. The information terminal 1 collates the attribute information record with a personal reference database storing an evaluation for an attribute information record of a person who eats the dish, calculates degrees of preference of the search candidates, narrows down the search candidates based on the calculated degrees of preference and displays a sight of the candidates on a touch panel 105. If any search candidate is selected by an operator, the recipe information server 2 transmits cooking method information of the selected search candidate to the information terminal 1, and the information terminal 1 guides a cooking procedure to a cooker according to the transmitted cooking method information.
