Quartzy recently crafted the 'everylatke' Twitter recipe bot for the purposes of helping consumers to discover new latke recipes during Hanukkah.
The media outlet created a basic formula for latkes, describing that "at minimum, all you need is something to base your latkes around, some glue to hold it all together, and a fat to fry it in. After that, the sky’s the limit." Based on this premise, everylatke shares a new recipe every hour that offers creative new ideas on how to assemble different ingredient combinations. This is particularly noteworthy because the bot suggests a number of substitutions that can be made for those who prefer vegan or non-dairy alternatives.
Like the everylatke bot, a number of robots are being turned into recipe creators, as they do not have the same biases when it comes to suggesting new and unusual food pairings.
