What is You Got Cooking?

You Got Cooking is a culinary website designed to make home cooking simpler, encourage healthier eating habits, and reduce food waste. It uses artificial intelligence — specifically the GPT-3 model — to suggest personalized recipes based on the ingredients you already have on hand. The service is free to use, but daily recipe requests are limited to ensure fair access and prevent misuse.

Who created You Got Cooking?

The founder wanted to build a platform that offers personalized recipe ideas using ingredients you already have at home, with help from an AI cook.
