If you think about how it works, it's going to have a strong representation of oft-published recipes and oft-published substitutions and will be able to mash those together into plausible original recipes that are adjacent to them. Making a satisfying meal for a few people with comparatively mainstream tastes should be pretty reliable. But the more esoteric you go, aiming for something really novel or something unusually historic/traditional/regional, or the more technical and delicate, the more it'll turn to hallucinating naive text continuations that will lead you astray. An experienced cook will know to spot the weird stuff and revise on the fly; an inexperienced one is going to end up with some... odd dishes. It's the same as many of us see when used for code assistance. It's great at inventing "original" boilerplate which inspiration has been exhaustively covered in source material, but gets real wacky and unreliable the more you move away from that.
