I've been cooking with the help of LLMs a few times a month for over a year now. It's worked out well 9/10 times.

It turns out the "average" version of a recipe that's baked into the weights is usually a solid recipe, and they're really good at offering substitutions for things like "I don't have ingredient X" or "make it vegetarian".

It's also fun promoting "make it tastier" once or twice after each recipe just to see what happens.

I have actually cooked with LLMs, specifically Gemini, few times this year.

Works surprisingly well, can even tell it "I have so and so ingredients in my pantry, I want a keto-friendly meal, what can I make?" followed with some narrowing down dialogue-style.

Same. I was hoping for a digital meal planner.
