Ramadan has recently started and I am fasting. Perhaps that is why food is all what I can think of right now:)

I decided to turn this into an experiment. I went to Open AI Playground and asked the following prompt:

“Invent 10 new original, tasty, healthy, delicious dishes for me. Unlikely combinations. Healthy. Keto-friendly. Write detailed recipe for each.”

I regenerated the response, which yielded me 20 original recipes.

You can see the responses below.
