How TheRandomRecipe Is Made
We believe in being straight with you about how this site works.
TheRandomRecipe is a small, independent project built to solve one problem: deciding what to cook. We use AI to help us draft and structure recipes at scale, and a human editorial process to check that what we publish is accurate, sensible, and genuinely useful in a real kitchen.
We don’t pretend to be a newsroom of celebrity chefs. We’re transparent about using AI — and just as committed to the human review that makes each recipe trustworthy. Here’s the process every recipe goes through.
Drafted with AI
Each recipe starts as an AI-generated draft, grounded in established culinary technique and sensible ingredient pairings.
Reviewed by our editorial team
We check ingredient quantities, cooking times, and the step-by-step method for accuracy and clarity before anything is published.
Nutrition calculated
Nutritional information is calculated from each recipe’s ingredients against standardised databases, then labelled for common diets.
Imagery, clearly labelled
Recipe images are AI-generated to illustrate the finished dish — they’re for inspiration, not a photograph of a specific result.
Our standards
Nutritional figures are estimates for general guidance. We periodically revisit and update older recipes, and our AI tools are human-audited before their output is published. You can read the full detail in our Editorial Policy.
