Using ChatGPT is as simple as this:
Think of a basic prompt such as, "Come up with a recipe using ______________ ingredients."
Add any details that you'd like to enhance your response.
Now you're ready to submit your prompt! Wait for ChatGPT to come up with unique and fun recipes.

Use ChatGPT for Kitchen Conversions
Another way to use ChatGPT is to ask it to help you convert metric measurements to a different serving size. For example, you can ask ChatGPT:
"How many millimeters are in a cup?"
"How many kilograms make up one pound?"
ChatGPT is great at providing accurate conversions that you'll need to cook tasty meals.
Use ChatGPT for Meal Planning and Prep
If you're simply short on time and want to be more organized with your cooking, ChatGPT can even help you with planning and prepping meals for the week. You can ask:
"Create a week-long meal plan for two people with one whole chicken breast as the base ingredient."
"What simple healthy ingredients can I pack as a snack for the week?"
Use ChatGPT to Avoid Food Waste
Lastly, if you bought a bundle of food but only ended up needing a little, ChatGPT can help you to create a recipe to avoid wasting excess food.
For example, those overripe bananas on your counter on the brink of complete mush can be added to a great dish with the help of generative AI.
