From a Google search, it looks like he's right about the poor accuracy. It gets the basic idea of the ingredients, but is not really accurate. And is initially wrong about the region.
But actually, this is what RAG is for. You would typically do a vector search for something similar to the question about "rice baked in an egg mixture". And assuming it found a match on the real recipe or on a few similar possibilities, feed those into the prompt for the LLM to incorporate.
So if you have a well indexed recipe database and large context window to include multiple possible matches, then RAG would probably work perfectly for this case.
- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoI'm also super curious to know what the actual recipe was. I literally just plugged the exact text from the article into ChatGPT 4o: > My mother remembers growing up with a Sicilian dish that was primarily rice baked in an egg mixture. Roughly a “rice frittata.” Do you know some examples of what dish or recipe this could be? And the response I got was > It sounds like your mother might be referring to a dish known as "Frittata di Riso" or "Frittata di Riso al Forno." This is a traditional Sicilian dish that combines leftover rice with eggs and other ingredients, then bakes it into a savory cake. Here is a basic recipe for Frittata di Riso: And then got a detailed, formatted recipe. I asked follow up questions along the lines of "Where did Frittata di Riso originate" and "Is Frittata di Riso popular in Sicily" and again got detailed, thorough answers. Fair enough that I don't know if it's hallucinating, but without more info from the author what can I compare it to?
- deanputney 2y agoI happen to have a copy of "Bruculinu, America" at home. Looking for rice recipes at roughly those positions in the book, it's either "Tumala d'Andrea: Rice Bombe" (blue bookmark) or "Arancini al Burru: Rice Balls with Butter". I'm going to guess it's Arancini al Burru, because the Tumala d'Andrea is way more involved (and stuffed with pasta)[0]. Here's a similar recipe for Arancini al Burru[1]. However, Arancini al Burru is fried and Tumala d'Andrea is baked. So I'm still speculating, it could be either or something different. It's a nice cookbook worth adding to your collection.

- jmount 2y agoYou are right. We simplified the Arancini al Burru: Rice Balls with Butter on our own. Also "Frittata di riso" is a very good match (relaxing the regional requirement).
- cryptonector 2y agoI feel cheated.
