I don’t see how weird recipes is an achievement? Wouldn’t stellar, workable, recipes be something more worthwhile?



I sometimes cook things because they seem weird or make me curious. It is definitely an achievement. It doesn't mean they aren't stellar, workable recipes by any means: Historical recipes (or even old ones from 50-70 years ago) are often weird. And workable, though if they get old enough, you have to fill in some blanks since they assume the cook is experienced more than modern recipes do. And some of the things are absolutely stellar. If you don't want to go historical, go sideways to different cultures - especially fusion foods. Indian-spiced potatoes, bell peppers, and some cheese stuff into bread cinnamon-roll-style? Yes please.

Right now, AI recipes are just an oddity. Weird and barely workable at best, and that's OK. We'll get there.


At some point in history, making cheese in animal innards must have been pretty weird.


But, but AI!
