Teaching AI to Cook Danish Food
My journey building an AI that creates and explains Danish recipes - from traditional dishes to modern airfryer experiments

Welcome to Spisekunst.dk - where AI learns to cook Danish food
Why I Built Spisekunst
I love Danish food, but I noticed that many traditional recipes are stuck in old cookbooks or scattered across various blogs. I wondered: could AI help make these recipes more accessible and even create new variations? That's how Spisekunst (which means 'the art of eating' in Danish) was born.
What makes Spisekunst special:
- AI that understands Danish cooking traditions
- Modern twists on classic recipes (like airfryer versions!)
- Clear, step-by-step instructions
- No fancy food styling - just practical cooking help

How the AI Creates Recipes
I trained the AI to break down recipes into clear, manageable parts. Here's how each recipe is structured:
The AI doesn't just copy existing recipes - it understands cooking techniques and can adapt them. For example, it figured out how to convert traditional oven recipes for an airfryer, which has been surprisingly popular!

What's Cooking Next
Building Spisekunst has been a fun experiment in seeing how AI can help preserve and evolve Danish cooking traditions. While the site has seen little engagement so far, I believe this reflects the early stage of AI-generated content rather than the concept itself.
Looking ahead, a future version would include step-by-step images and videos when AI models become capable of generating consistent, high-quality visual content. This would transform how people learn to cook - imagine AI creating not just recipes, but complete visual guides tailored to your skill level and dietary preferences.
Future possibilities I'm excited about:
The potential for AI to revolutionize cooking education is enormous - from personalized meal planning to adaptive cooking instruction that adjusts based on your progress.
- Step-by-step cooking videos generated by AI
- Personalized recipe adaptations based on dietary needs
- Interactive cooking guidance with real-time feedback
- Visual recognition to help users identify cooking stages
