Tips for better results
Cooked or uncooked changes everything
Fried rice needs day-old cooked rice. Risotto needs raw arborio. Say which you have so the recipe matches reality.
Name the rice variety
Basmati for biryani, jasmine for Thai, short-grain for sushi or risotto, brown for grain bowls. The type drives the dish.
Pair it with a protein and an aromatic
Rice + chicken + lemon + garlic is a complete prompt. Rice alone is a side. Give CookBook AI at least one of each.
