VIBE CODE MEAL PREP: A food-futuring workshop

VIBE CODE MEAL PREP is a food-futuring workshop that uses AI to make personalized recipes combining food trends, specialty ingredients, and the contents of your fridge. For this edition of the workshop the trends we will explore are: Biomaxxing, Doomer Food, Spice Combinatorics and Minimum-Viable-Proteins (MVPs). 

LLMs, prompt engineering and data visualizations will be used to develop hybrid recipes that graft together divergent approaches to flavour & nutrition: hyperlocal plants, alternative proteins, and globally traded commodities. 

After a short introduction we will taste-test unusual ingredients, experiment with vibe code tools, and work in small groups to create personalised AI-generated recipes using the ingredients on your weekly shopping list and current food trends. Each participant will leave with 4 unique recipes that they can cook, share, and discuss with friends and family the following week. Participants may also choose to share their recipes with digital communities that would be interested.  

Requirements and Prep

You don’t need to have any experience with cooking or coding to join this workshop. You should bring a digital photo of the inside of your fridge and food cupboard OR be ready to write down a weekly shopping list if your fridge is currently empty. We would also like to ask you to bring one ingredient that is meaningful to you, which we will incorporate into the workshop. The workshop will be conducted in English.
