Kitchen Cosmo turns food leftovers into personalized recipes

Post Thumbnail

You have half a tomato in the fridge, yesterday’s leftover rice and some mysterious sauce. Kitchen Cosmo will turn this into a complete dinner. MIT students created an AI device that completely rethinks the culinary experience.

Red 70s-style housing. Physical knobs instead of touchscreen. Built-in thermal printer for recipes. Aya Mahmud and Jacob Payne combined retro aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.

The process is maximally simple. You lay out products in front of the device. The webcam scans ingredients. GPT-4o recognizes each product through computer vision. Everything happens through one API request to OpenAI.

6 analog controllers determine the outcome. Dish mood. Cooking time. Culinary skill level. Dietary restrictions. Portion size. Each parameter influences the final recipe.

Turn the mood knob to adventurous. You get an experimental dish with unexpected combinations. Set it to comfort. The system suggests familiar classics from your products.

The thermal printer outputs a personalized recipe on paper. No screens. Only tactile interaction. Developers call this a hybrid culinary interface.

AI doesn’t dictate rules here. It becomes a co-author of the cooking process. You control creativity through physical regulators. The system adapts to your preferences.

Kitchen Cosmo might solve the eternal problem of home cooking. No more flipping through hundreds of recipes searching for the right one. The device itself creates a unique dish from available ingredients. While considering your mood and capabilities.
