To provide a cooking navigation apparatus capable of counting a wait time after vocally outputting a precedent procedure, and then automatically outputting a voice of a following procedure after the lapse of the wait time when there is the wait time between two cooking procedures.

The cooking navigation apparatus is equipped with a means of vocally outputting the starting read-aloud sentence and then synthesizing and outputting a speech of a following read-aloud sentence each time a cooking procedure output command based upon user operation is inputted, and a means of starting counting the wait time indicated with wait time information from the point of time when the read-aloud sentence is vocally outputted when the vocally outputted read-aloud sentence includes the wait time information, and then automatically synthesizing and outputting a speech of the next read-aloud sentence when the wait time lapses without allowing cooking procedure output command to be inputted after the wait time begins to be clocked.
