It is pretty good yeah. I usually ask what traditional recipes (with some time/difficulty limits depending on time availability) might fit with the ingredients i have and let it suggest substitutions.

I wouldn't just ask it to make me a "novel and interesting recipe" giving it a bunch of weird ingredients that don't fit together. It would probably try its best but garbage in garbage out also work for food! At that point i ask it what should i get from the shop to make a recipe with x ingredient that i have in the fridge and i want to finish.

It's also pretty good with meal planning if you do that, it can estimate portions with calories breakdowns etc...
