How to Get Better AI Recipe Suggestions

Learn how to phrase your questions to Nori so you get the most useful answers.

Why phrasing matters

Nori answers your questions using built-in cooking knowledge along with the recipe you're currently viewing. The clearer your question, the more useful the answer will be.

Tips for better answers

  1. Open the specific recipe your question relates to before tapping Ask Nori, so Nori has that context.
  2. Name the exact ingredient, step number, or technique you're asking about instead of asking a general question.
  3. Ask one question at a time rather than combining several unrelated questions.
  4. If you need a substitution, mention what you have on hand, for example "I don't have heavy cream, what can I use instead?"
  5. If you're scaling a recipe, tell Nori the new number of servings you want.

Good example questions

  • "Can I substitute the fish sauce in this recipe?"
  • "How do I know when the dough in step 3 is ready?"
  • "How would I make this recipe for 8 people instead of 4?"
  • "What can I make with the leftover roasted vegetables from this dish?"

When answers seem off

  • Double check you're viewing the correct recipe, since Nori uses the recipe on screen as context.
  • Rephrase your question to be more specific if the first answer felt too general.
  • Ask a follow-up question to narrow down the advice further.

Remember

Nori is meant to support your cooking with practical guidance, not to replace your own judgment about food safety or your personal dietary needs. Always use common sense alongside Nori's suggestions.
