Have you ever fantasized about recreating those mouth-watering dishes at home while watching a food show? Whether it is the risotto in the movie "Feast Storm" or the classic beef bugendi in "Julie and Julia", these delicacies always seem out of reach. However, if you plan to buy a 2025 Samsung TV, your food dream may be about to become a reality.
At the 2025 Las Vegas CES exhibition, Samsung officially released a revolutionary feature - Samsung Food. With Samsung's advanced artificial intelligence processor, this feature can recognize foods appearing on the screen in real time and provide you with corresponding recipes. This innovation will revolutionize the way you interact with food, turning you from audience to chef.
Samsung Food is not a brand new concept, but an upgraded version of Whisk, a food app acquired by Samsung in 2019. In 2023, Whisk was officially renamed Samsung Food and was launched on iOS and Android platforms. The app not only provides practical tools such as meal planning and AI-guided cooking steps, but also launches a premium version of the service that is $7 per month, which can intelligently recommend recipes based on photos uploaded by users, further enhancing the user experience.
Although the food features on Samsung TVs are slightly limited compared to mobile applications, it still has powerful practical value. In addition to visual recognition recommended recipes, it can also display the progress of food and grocery delivery placed by users through the Samsung Food Mobile App in real time. Samsung proudly claimed at the press conference that this app can intelligently build shopping lists based on the ingredients in users’ refrigerators, and can be called the “ultimate AI chef assistant.”
However, although this feature sounds very attractive, its usefulness remains to be verified. Similar food applications on the market, such as SideChef's photo-to-recipe function, are not satisfactory. AI tools like ChatGPT have not yet achieved ideal results in recipe recommendations. Therefore, it remains to be further observed whether Samsung Food can fulfill its promises in its advertising.
In addition, AI technology can provide recipe suggestions, but it cannot really cook for you. This may be a big regret for someone like me who has lost interest in cooking recently. However, if you've been dreaming of recreating the French butter pastry from The British Baking Contest at home, this TV might be the perfect choice for you.
Samsung's food feature will be the first to appear in the upcoming QN90F, QN80F and QN70F model TVs. Not only does these TVs have excellent picture quality and sound effects, they will also become your right-hand assistant in the kitchen, making cooking smarter and more convenient. Whether you are a food lover or a novice in cooking, this TV will bring you a brand new food experience.
