Probably an unpopular opinion, but I love using LLMs for recipes. I can say what I want to make and whatever ingredients I have on hand and I almost always get good results.

Cookbooks are better than websites but can get damaged easily and take up space and definitely don’t have every single recipe I could ever want to make, with instructions on any adaptation I might care to make.

Anybody find good sources for recipes on Gemini? I found this one:
