Welcoming Our New Robot Executive Chefs

We’re about to enter a holiday period in which vast quantities of food and beverage will be consumed.  Which means, as a corollary, that there will be a lot of leftovers.

Why not do something different with your leftovers this year?  Like make use of a recipe created by an AI?  We have two AIs working on the problem, one at Stanford and the other at the University of Illinois.

For instance, what if you wake up on Boxing Day and discover the icebox is full of tangerines, toffee, and mulled wine.  (I’m guessing by this example that you are also British.)   Here’s the dish on offer.

Stewart’s for life spaghetti

Leftovers: Tangerines, mulled wine, toffee

Steps: Combine noodles and next ingredients to toffee, blending well, then pour over spaghetti. Continue layering peppered mushrooms with 1/2 cup of cheese. Top with cooked chicken. Bake at 450 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven.

Apparently the AI had no idea what toffee was, though that seems to be the least of its problems.  .

More recipes on the site.  Some of might actually taste good.
