The big idea

- 'Make a brand new sandwich using peanut butter, banana, and Doritos.'
- 'I love mac and cheese. Suggest 5 weird upgrades I could try.'
- 'Help me invent a smoothie that uses ingredients from my fridge: bananas, milk, cookies, blueberries.'
Try it!
Brainstorm a new recipe with AI. Pick the safest-sounding one. Try it with a parent. Notice what works and what does not.
