Your kitchen is arguably the one area of your home where you can really bring your creativity to life, and provide your body with the real nutrition that it deserves at the same time. 

It will take you some time and a bit of patience to create amazing dishes that you love, even though trying something new can be a bit scary, there are many advantages to using ChatGPT to create custom recipe ideas for you.

Imagine it being like the science lab at school, where you got to combine things and solve problems in fun ways. Experimenting with your culinary skills from the comfort of your kitchen will allow you to explore new flavors, as well as play with different recipes while you also satisfy your hunger.

Plus, being able to feed yourself, your family and your friends with delicious dishes will bring you even more satisfaction and confidence. There’s nothing quite like the pleasure you will feel by having loved ones enjoy a meal that you’ve made from scratch.

And just think about it: it would be difficult finding anyone who doesn’t love a good meal, while also sitting around a table with others, sharing stories, laughing, and enjoying the food that’s on display.

And now with the help of new AI chatbot ChatGPT, being able to enjoy the beauty of cooking could lay the groundwork for you to take your amateur chef skills to a whole new level.

Picture this: you open the door of your refrigerator, knowing full well there’s only a lonely carrot, an onion, a half-full can of tomato paste that will be staring back at you, because you’ve scheduled your weekly shop to arrive tomorrow.

So, what should you do? Well, you can obviously just order your favorite takeout, but you could also ask ChatGPT to create an easy and inspiring dish that will satisfy your hunger, and be a healthier option. 

Taking our example of a carrot, onion, and half-full can of tomato paste, we asked the AI chatbot to do just that.

And this is what it suggested, which we think is quite a good and healthy option to getting takeout delivered:

For our next prompt, we had some chicken, but weren’t feeling very inspired to do anything with it, beyond opening a jar of some Chicken Tonight, pouring it on the meat, and sticking it in the oven. So, we asked ChatGPT for some help with creating a couple of chicken dishes that would take less than 20 minutes to cook: 

We had some chicken, but weren’t feeling very inspired to do anything with it, beyond opening a jar of some Chicken Tonight, pouring it on the meat, and sticking it in the oven. So, we asked ChatGPT for some help.

Then we asked if it could give us some creative vegan options that didn’t include fake meat, and that would also take 20 minutes or less to cook:

Here’s what we got:

These results were fine, although we consider avocado toast to be a breakfast or a snack, hardly a hearty meal. So, we pressed ChatGPT further:

And this was the result:

We’ve got to say, this one looks quite promising as a satisfying dinner, and it also reminded us that we love sweet potatoes. So, we prompted ChatGPT to give us another vegan recipe that included sweet potato as the main ingredient: 

And we loved the recipe that ChatGPT produced for us:

For our last recipe, we decided to ask ChatGPT to give us a spicy twist to one of our favorite sandwiches, the well-loved grilled cheese. We’re not so sure about this result, but the fact that many people love putting pineapple on their pizzas means that it would probably satisfy the tastes of some:
