I’m training a neural network to generate recipes based on a database of about 30,000 examples, using the open-source char-rnn framework.

People have asked me whether I’ve tried making any of these recipes.

The answer is no. No, I most definitely haven’t. I don’t know, in fact, of anyone who has dared.

The following selections of ingredients and directions may help explain why.
