Two of my big passions in life are playing with new technologies, and cooking, So naturally when ChatGPT became hot in early 2023, the first prompts I asked it were for custom recipes. It was exceedingly proficient at generating unique requests with accurate measurements and also, was great at swapping ingredients. The ultimate test I gave it was a Cast Iron pan pizza, which had specific time & ingredient requests, which was hard to create my own specific one from adapting many different recipes I found online to fit my equipment & ingredients.
The pizza came out great, and ChatGPT quickly became a core part of my recipe development process, whether it was checking how long to sear a steak or what the difference between green onion and scallions is.
I quickly through together a Flask App in AWS as a proof of concept, and then got to work on this site with Django & Webflow, and (6+ months) later it was live!
While other websites exist with similar purposes, and AI Chat tools might be easier for a quick cooking tip, my hope for this website is to help people become better chefs, and promote cooking with fresh ingredients. My other project that pairs well with this site is OliversGrocers.com, which promotes Local ingredients, check them out, and reach out with any questions/comments about the website!
