Chat GPT Recipes :)

I have had to cook by myself many times, but unfortunately, I am not very good at it. So, at one time I decided to ask Chatgpt for a recipe. At first, I was not sure if it would work, but I tried just for the fun of it. I searched for a simple recipe with cheese, eggs and pasta, because those are the basic things I can prepare in an edible way, and gpt gave me clear instructions. I followed them, but I forgot to add salt in the water, so the pasta was a really tasteless.

I cracked the eggs into a bowl and started whisking them, just like Chatgpt told me, but I wasn’t sure if I should add salt to the eggs before or after they had started to get fluffy. I decided to put in a little salt before and after too, just in case.

Then, I heated some oil in a pan and poured the eggs in together with the pasta. I was supposed to stir them fast, but gently somehow, so the eggs would become a sauce, but I got distracted for a moment and then it was late. I had made a pasta omelette with close to no salt, and I had to eat it, which wasn’t as bad as I had expected it to be, but it still wasn’t the carbonara I had planned to remake for the family.

After my first attempt at cooking with Chatgpt, I realized that even simple recipes could go wrong if I wasn’t careful enough. The egg and pasta thing had been edible but far from great. I promised myself that next time, I would follow the instructions more closely and pay attention even to the smallest details.

So, a few days later, I decided to try again, this time with patience. It seemed easy enough: just eggs, salt, and a few ingredients I had in the fridge. I asked ChatGPT for a recipe again and followed it step by step. I whisked the eggs properly this time and even remembered to season them. Things were going well until I had to flip the omelette.

I hesitated for a moment, then tried to turn it over quickly, just like I had seen in cooking videos. But instead of a perfect flip, the omelette broke apart on the spatula and half of it landed in the sink, the other on the tiles…
