Really enjoyed this one. Thanks. Made me want to take pix of all my staple ingredients and spice drawer use these photos to cook for a week, plugging in for each new dinner a protein (or avoidance there of), telling it to choose a starch, and see how many meals it comes up with. Pete Wells wrote a great piece about how chefs are using it--hope you saw. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/dining/ai-chefs-restaurants.html

Thanks Michael. Means a lot coming from you. I'm almost certain that AI at this point can handle what you just suggested doing. And it can definitely give you meals that follow pretty specific personal preference criteria.

Loved that piece in the times by Pete Wells.

I also explore what an all-powerful food AI might do to the food system in the preview chapter for the sequel to Mise, which you can download and read here: https://www.mise.market/a/downloads/-/4ad98f4f50be49a6/af2723e4e710f836
