I tripple dog dare you to eat it---Computer-generated recipes from IBM

They Call it Cognitive Cooking

where IBM has been using their latest Watson super computer to --- generate recipies...


I mean Baltic Apple pie sound's safe enough... until you look at the ingredients...

pork tenderloin: 1 lb. trimmed and cut into ¼ inch dice
Granny Smith apple: 1 peeled, cored and diced
garlic: 4-5 cloves, separated and peeled
onion: 2 tablespoons, diced
smoked salt: 3 tablespoons

that's some Apple pie don't ya think.

and yes I think I'm going to Wuss-out when it comes to trying the bacon-porcini pudding...
Wired Mag
has a really good article on how IBM came up with this crazy idea in an attempt to teach a computer to be creative when it comes to problem solving...

First, you need to understand the problem that you’re trying to solve. Then, build expertise by learning everything you can about the problem. With this knowledge under your belt, generate a bunch of new ideas, and maybe even combine different types of ideas. Then pick the most creative ideas from the lot. Finally, implement your idea. While computers have executed many of these steps before, the key insight of the IBM group was to find a way to quantitatively gauge the creativity of a recipe, and to put all the different pieces together.

And to proof of concept--- The company teamed up with the Institute of Culinary Education to show off a recipe-generating program.


So what do ya think... I double dog...No, triple dog dare you to try a bite!

Still sounds better than GlaDOS's chocolate cake recipe.

The apple pie sounds like a slightly different take on mince pie. I think pork and apples work well together. I would try it.

a reply to: Junkheap

To be fair... as a meat pie that Baltic Apple thing doesn't sound to bad...
But their are cheating... Using professional chef's from this """Institute of Culinary Education"" to 'fine tune' their computer generated recipes...

what there not saying is how many bad recipes the machine had before coming up with the good one's?

I predict the final "optimal" recipe for humans will be Soylent Green...or some other such thing.

Yum! I can't wait

Apples and onions with bacon/pork chops is actually an excellent combination, an old Danish style recipe that you can find in Little House on the Prairie. My girlfriend cooks it up and it is de-lish, and I can only imagine a savory quiche-style apple-onion-bacon pie would actually be pretty good.

I'll give it to them some of these sound tasty.

Caribbean Snapper Fish and chips


coconut cream: 1/2 cup
lime juice: 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons, divided
serrano pepper: 1/2 pepper + 1 tablespoon, minced
fennel: 2 heads shaved + 1/2 cup minced, divided
Snapper: 12 oz, boneless, skinless filets
ground coriander seeds: 1 teaspoon, toasted
smoked serrano powder: 1/2 teaspoon
yellow cornmeal: 1 cup
coconut milk: 1 cup
egg: 1, separated
plantain chips: 2 cups
Tajin Chili Lime seasoning: as needed

However they lose me with the Austrian Chocolate Burrito.

Still the majority of these sound and look great.
Interesting find S&F OP

same here.

My favorite pork tenderloin recipe includes making a gravy out of the pork drippings and apple juice.

Might be kinda cool when this is perfected. I want the food replicator thingy from Star Trek: NG! No need to kill or torture an animal to have a steak. Maybe I could try fois grau (sp?) without feeling guilty... Or sauteed human brain with a nice Chablis lol or whatever that was from Hannibal. Probably would skip that one O.O

My mother use to cook multiple layers of pork and granny smith apples on top of each other, in the oven. The pork absorbed the taste of the granny smith apples, it was something to die for.

Since we are on a pork and apples kick, I do enjoy a pork roast (shoulder or loin) done in apple juice/cider covered to begin with, then uncovered to brown the roast and reduce the juices for gravy.

I have used 7-Up/ Sprite to roast pork and it turns out really good. I got the 7-Up idea from a Filipino lady years ago.

No thanks I'll stick to my normal Oatmeal and Blueberries for breakfast etc....

Blueberries!
Rolled or cut oats?

a reply to: butcherguy

Cut, sometimes I'll add honey and cinnamon

a reply to: SLAYER69
I prefer cut, but my children won't eat it.
I used to eat it with slivered almonds, but nuts are off my diet now.

A daily teaspoon of 'First cold pressed' Olive oil does wonders

I have been thinking of trying that. I have read that it works.... and that it is a myth.
Can't hurt.

Baltic Apple Pie sounds great to me - except had to look up "smoked salt."

...Interesting.

a reply to: HardCorps

the only major thing I see wrong with Baltic apple pie = 3 tablespoons of salt . 1 teaspoon and I would eat it
