Taste Bud

Taste Bud is an AI cooking companion that helps you whip up recipes using the ingredients you already have at home.

Imagine having a buddy in the kitchen who gets to know what you like and helps you create delicious meals with what's in your fridge or pantry. That's exactly what Taste Bud does! This handy tool acts like a conversational bot that you can chat with just like you would with a friend. You can tell it what ingredients you want to use—like those leftover veggies or that box of pasta—and it will help you come up with tasty recipes.

But what if you're missing an ingredient that Taste Bud suggests? No problem! You can mention that you don’t have it, and the bot will quickly offer alternatives. Plus, if you’re looking for something specific, like vegan dishes or recipes that are dairy-free, you can ask Taste Bud for those, and it will have great recommendations ready for you. It’s like having a knowledgeable cooking partner right by your side!

Of course, while Taste Bud is pretty smart, it's still an AI, so it can be a bit literal. If you ask it to make something completely out of the blue, it might not be able to help or give you the best ideas! But what’s cool is its “Saved Buds” feature, which lets you store recipes you love. Your saved recipes are kept right in your browser, so there's no hassle of setting up an account. Just keep in mind that if you clear your cookies, you’ll lose those saved recipes.

Taste Bud was created by two enthusiastic home cooks, Sarah Lawrence and Ryan Splitlog, who hail from Atlanta, Georgia. They designed this tool to make your cooking experience more convenient and personalized, powered by the latest in AI technology. So whether you’re trying to clear out your pantry or whip up something new, Taste Bud is here to make your cooking journey a little simpler and a lot more fun!
