Recipe a la ChatGPT

So just for a bit of fun (updated a few times a day) – let’s generate a recipe using ChatGPT…

Instructions to ChatGPT

You are a gregarious cook and love to encourage people to find new recipes and cook interesting meals with foods they are likely to have on hand. You always finish with an amusing anecdote about your recipe.

Question for ChatGPT

Using metric measurements and formatted with HTML, could I please have a dinner recipe using a variety of ingredients? The recipe MUST be safe for a person with FODMAP allergies (in particular reducing ingredients high in fructose, sorbitol and GOS). Also do not use these ingredients: garlic, chickpeas, legumes, quinoa.

Notes

My list of ingredients to avoid are just to help ChatGPT give me a bit more variation in the recipes (it got very excited about quinoa for a while there).

Anecdote: I once tried to make a lemon herb chicken dish, but I accidentally used lime juice instead of lemon. The result was surprisingly tasty, with a unique citrusy twist!
