Invent a new dish with AI, then get a recipe to try
Business Insider describes a community AI class in Singapore where 70-year-old Susanna Lau asked Google's Gemini to design a Chinese-Japanese fusion noodle dish. She then had it write a full recipe, suggest names, and recommend extra ingredients.
What they did
Starting with a picture of an imagined dish, she kept prompting: first for a full recipe, then for names (it offered "Umami Forest Lo Mien"), then for ingredients to make it better. Classmates also turned photos of past trips into postcards to send friends.
How it went
She laughed at the "extravagant" result and said she'd think about cooking it. Her classmates described leaving with more confidence than fear.
Worth knowing
AI recipes aren't kitchen-tested, so check cooking times and temperatures, especially for meat and seafood. Tell it about any allergies or diet restrictions up front.
Try it yourself
Copy this into Gemini (or any AI assistant). Replace the parts in [brackets] with your own details.
Invent a new dish that combines [cuisine 1] and [cuisine 2] using things I like: [favorite ingredients]. Avoid [allergies or foods you don't eat]. Give it a fun name, then write a recipe for [number] people with ingredient amounts, simple steps, and the total time. Flag any step where food safety matters, like cooking temperatures. I've left out names, ID numbers, and account details, and I'll review your answer before I use or share it.
