New York Times Cooking tests AI recipe modification feature
What happened
On 29 October 2026, The Verge reported that the New York Times is testing an AI recipe modification feature in its Cooking app. The feature can suggest ingredient and cookware substitutions, scale recipes to any number of servings and adapt them to different pots and pans. It is currently available to all Cooking subscribers on iOS, with a wider rollout to follow; customised recipes are private and cannot be published or shared. Some readers questioned the AI's environmental impact and usability in the comments. Genevieve Ko, senior editor at NYT Cooking, said there is no off switch for now, but the feature is entirely optional.
