NYT Cooking's new AI assistant rewrites a recipe for what is in your fridge, and The Verge's tester says it nearly halved the butter in a cake

The Verge reviewed the AI assistant in the NYT Cooking app, which is available to subscribers on iOS only at launch. You type what you have or what you need changed, such as a substitution or a scaled-up recipe, and it creates a new version and highlights every change under a Your Version tab. The reviewer found it useful but said it almost put half the butter in a cake.

• If you use the app, check any changed quantity in baking against the original recipe before you start, since the original stays available.
• Use it for swaps and scaling, not for food safety questions such as cooking times for meat, where you should follow the original recipe.
