A group project where we trained a small LLM on Italian cuisine data, then asked it to make cookie recipes. The results were questionable.
Part of the same Computational Creativity course as Plotcraft. For this project, the group built a small language model from scratch and trained it exclusively on Italian cuisine data.
Then we asked it to generate cookie recipes.
The model did its best. The results included cookies with chilli, basil, and meat, among other unconventional combinations. Technically coherent from the model's perspective as it was just working with what it knew. The cookbook collects and presents these recipes with a straight face. (Please don't try them)
