Here’s my simple demo of the ease of use and abilities of ChatGPT.
The prompt I provided was:
“Design a 3 course menu with entree, main course and dessert using food commonly associated with Tasmania, Australia, that I can easily cook on a camping trip using just a gas cooktop.”
This is the menu I received 30 seconds later
Sure, here’s a 3 course menu featuring Tasmanian ingredients that can be cooked easily on a camping trip using just a gas cooktop:
Entree: Tasmanian Smoked Salmon and Dill Frittata
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk

- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl until combined.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese, smoked salmon, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet on the gas cooktop over medium heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the edges start to set.
- Use a spatula to lift the edges of the frittata and allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When the frittata is almost set, cover the skillet and cook until the top is firm.
- Serve with a side salad of mixed greens and a simple vinaigrette.
