Recipes as eccentric as they are delicious, concocted by a machine? You read that right. Artificial intelligence is increasingly appearing on our plates, adding a pinch of technology to our favorite dishes. Between Italian ice creams and pizzas with improbable ingredients, AI is becoming essential for culinary creators… and to amaze our taste buds.
Between unbridled creativity and surgical precision, artificial intelligence is entering the kitchen. From black pepper ice cream to za’atar pizza, robots could revolutionize our favorite recipes.
When Chat GPT thinks he’s a cook…
Imagine asking a robot to invent a recipe for you that really changes things from the beaten track. This is exactly what Gianfranco Sampo, the owner of a gelateria in Milan, did. Armed with GPT chatthe latter did not hesitate to submit 87 recipes to get even more innovative ideas. The result? White chocolate ice cream, balsamic sauce and caramelized black pepper. Yes, you read that correctly. Add to that creations like cinnamon ice cream with almond crunch and diced pears sautéed in prosecco… In short, enough to intrigue even the most conservative.
Well, it’s still wiser than ice creams with mayonnaise or haggis (this Scottish dish made from sheep’s belly). But let’s be honest, who has never dreamed of tasting ice cream? prosecco-pears ?
AI is also about precision
Behind these creations, the AI is not just there to entertain the gallery. It also allows streamlineproduction. Chat GPT accurately calculates ingredient quantities, reducing waste. With computer-equipped machines, each portion is optimized to be as efficient (and tasty) as possible. This is what we call combining business with pleasure.
NO to diets, YES to WW!
From pizzas to burgers, AI puts on a show
AI is not limited to gelati. On the side of DubaiDodo Pizza launched this summer with a creation with multiple influences: lamb, zaatar, paneer, parsley and tahini sauce . This cocktail of ingredients draws from Western, Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines, a bit of a mirror of the Emirate’s cosmopolitan flavors.
And even Burger Kinggot started! By launching a competition where customers were able to create their own burgers using an AI generator, the chain gave free rein to culinary creativity. Three of the most original creations even ended up on restaurant menus in the United States. A great revenge for those who believed that only humans could become leaders.
So, is AI in cooking a temporary madness or the future? In any case, it is already deliciously intriguing.
