The nyt cooking app explores ai-driven recipe customization

The New York Times is piloting an AI feature within its Cooking app that allows users to customize recipes, according to a recent announcement. Senior editor Genevieve Ko revealed the update last Friday, highlighting its ability to suggest ingredient substitutions, adjust cooking equipment, and scale recipes to any serving size. The feature aims to adapt recipes to a cook's immediate needs. One example provided in the article involves a user requesting baby spinach instead of kale, with the app advising that baby spinach should be added later due to its tendency to wilt faster. The development has sparked mixed reactions among users. The full story can be found at The Verge.
