This episode is a PSA for anyone who hates cooking, is bad at it and is tired of pretending they’ll magically get better one day.

I talk about how desperation, half a capsicum and a tin of sardines led me to asking ChatGPT what to cook for dinner.

And how outsourcing the thinking part of food has genuinely changed my life.

This isn’t about becoming a great cook or loving the process.

It’s about not eating sad, joyless meals out of exhaustion and reclaiming a bit of mental space when you’re already doing everything else.

There’s also anchovy pasta, talking to a robot like it’s a person, feminism via kitchen incompetence and why a boiled egg with steamed veg is not the life I’m aiming for anymore.

If you try this and it works, email me your winning recipes coz I’m collecting them.

This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.

I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
