Samsung’s new TVs can find recipes for dishes on the display

Have you ever watched a meal on TV and thought, wow, I wish I could cook at home? Maybe it was il timpano in “Big Night,” or beef bourguignon in “Julie & Julia.” Whatever you’re craving for shows, you’re in luck – when you buy a 2025 Samsung TV, that is.

At its CES 2025 press conference in Las Vegas on Monday, Samsung announced Samsung Food, a new feature on its TVs that helps the company’s AI processor recognize food on your screen and find its way.

If Samsung Food sounds good, it’s probably because the brand has been around for a while. Samsung he bought it food program Whisk in 2019, and to be changed again to Samsung Food in 2023. Today, the Samsung Food app for iOS and Android, which offers tools such as a food processor and cooking steps guided by AI, can also provide photo-based recipes – if you make more than $7 a month. premium version.

Samsung’s Food experience designed for TV is very limited in what it can do, unsurprisingly. But in addition to recommending recipes based on what it “sees,” Samsung Food on TV can show the progress of your groceries and containers through the Samsung Food mobile app.

In a press release, Samsung is calling the software’s ability to create a shopping list based on the ingredients in your fridge. “It’s the ultimate AI sous chef,” the company boldly proclaims.

Samsung’s Food screen-to-recipe tool is impressive. But we have to see if it lives up to the commercial hype. The secret to SideChef’s AI software is a photo-to-recipe tool leaves something to be desiredand popular AI acronyms and chatbots like ChatGPT not very successful. (Glue pizzaanyone?)

Then there’s the fact that AI can’t really cook for you. As someone who is too lazy to prepare meals these days, much less cook a dish seen on TV, he is probably a bit of a mess. But if baking kouign amann from “The Great British Bake Off” floats your boat, this might be the TV for you.

You’ll find Samsung Food on the upcoming Samsung QN90F, QN80F, and QN70F models.
