Have you ever watched a food scene in a movie or TV show and wished you could recreate that delicious dish right in your own kitchen? Whether it’s the legendary il timpano from “Big Night” or the classic beef bourguignon from “Julie & Julia,” your culinary dreams might just become a reality with a little help from technology.
Samsung is set to revolutionize your cooking adventures with the introduction of Samsung Food, an innovative feature available on their new 2025 TVs. This cutting-edge addition utilizes the brand’s advanced AI processor to recognize different foods on your screen and seamlessly provide you with recipes to bring those dishes to life in your own home.
The concept of Samsung Food isn’t entirely new; it’s grounded in Samsung’s acquisition of the Whisk food app back in 2019, which was rebranded in 2023. The Samsung Food app for iOS and Android has been offering a range of culinary tools like meal planning and AI-assisted cooking steps for a while now. It even suggests recipes based on photos, provided you purchase the premium version for just $7 a month.
While the TV version of Samsung Food is somewhat more limited compared to the mobile app, it still offers some enticing possibilities. Not only can it recommend recipes based on what it “sees,” but it also provides updates on the progress of your grocery and takeout deliveries if ordered through the Samsung Food app.
Samsung describes the app as the “ultimate AI sous chef,” boasting features like creating shopping lists based on what’s available in your fridge.
Its screen-to-recipe tool is certainly intriguing, though how it performs in reality may vary. While similar AI tools like those from Recipe app SideChef and chatbot summarizers often fall short, Samsung’s claim sounds promising.
Of course, while the AI might help in planning and guiding, it won’t exactly roll up its sleeves and prepare the meal for you. For those who relish the idea of recreating intricate dishes such as the kouign amann from “The Great British Bake Off,” Samsung’s newest TVs might just be a culinary game-changer.
Look out for Samsung Food on their forthcoming models, including the QN90F, QN80F, and QN70F—they might just make your kitchen the next star of your favorite food show!
