NYT Cooking opens a beta for AI-powered recipe customization
NYT Cooking’s iOS beta adapts existing recipes for ingredient, diet, serving-size and equipment preferences, while editors do not review the output.
AT A GLANCE
Key points
- The beta adapts existing NYT Cooking recipes.
- Users can change ingredients, diets, servings and equipment.
- Customized recipes remain private and cannot be shared.
- AI outputs are not reviewed or endorsed by Cooking editors.
What is changing?
The New York Times is gradually rolling out an AI-powered recipe customization feature for Cooking subscribers. A Customize button on recipe pages creates an adapted version of the original recipe based on ingredient swaps, dietary needs, serving size or available equipment.
The feature is currently an iOS beta. Users can choose a suggested change or write their own request; the generated recipe remains private and cannot be published or shared with other users. Web and Android access is planned to expand later.
NYT explicitly says AI-modified recipes are not tested, reviewed or endorsed by Cooking editors. Because the system can make mistakes, users need to verify changes involving allergens, cooking times and food safety in particular.
