When plainoldrecipe.com was on the frontpage a couple weeks ago I thought it would be funny to do the opposite: add extraneous flavor text to recipes. These flavor texts are generated by GPT-2 since I have no interest in making the content myself. Some of the stories are funny. Surprisingly the Wild Rice Pancakes suggest adding Nyquil, which I do not endorse.

Things I'll be working on next:

Automate new recipes every day (or every page refresh)

Generated recipes (the current recipes are human generated)

Deriving recipe ingredients and steps from user submitted images via http://pic2recipe.csail.mit.edu/

GPT-3. I will be applying to the open beta later this week. This would make a lot more convincing flavor texts and could be aware of the recipe itself. Right now I feed GPT2 the title only.

If you have any ideas or feedback please let me know. I'll post updates on Twitter if you are interested.
