Online recipe sites are notorious for making you wade through endless filler to get to the meat of the matter. And they’re also decidedly low-tech in their approach.
So what if there were a tool that could rely on AI to analyze what you’ve actually got in your fridge and pantry—and then offer up fluff-free, instant recipes catered specifically to your tastes?
My fellow tech-obsessor, allow me to introduce you to a super-cool tool called Taste Bud.
Taste Bud? Oh, yes. And a high-tech companion is exactly what it is.
Unearth all sorts of little-known tech treasures with my free Cool Tools newsletter from The Intelligence. A scrumptious new discovery in your inbox every Wednesday!
➜ Taste Bud is a simple site that lets you list out ingredients you’ve got sitting around in your kitchen—whatever random stuff that might be. It then uses intelligence of the artificial variety to whip up suggestions for interesting things you could make.
⌚ It takes all of 20 seconds to pull off. It really couldn’t be much easier.
You just pull up the site, in any browser and on any device you’re using, and type in whatever food you see around you—either as a list or as a natural-language chit-chat, if you’re feeling conversational.
Give the site a few seconds to cook up its magic, and . . . ta-da!
Taste Bud will serve up a hopefully inspired recipe based on the exact ingredients you gave it. Kinda handy, no?
If you like what Taste Bud suggests, you can click the button to save it—and it’ll store it in your browser’s cache for future reference (no sign-in required). If you don’t, you can smash that “Try again” command, and the site will mix things up and serve up something completely different.
- Taste Bud is completely web-based and should work fine on any phone, tablet, or computer.
- It’s completely free to use (for the moment, at least!).
- And it doesn’t require any manner of personal data.
Now, that’s what I call tasteful AI.
