Behind Sapidus

Approachable on the outside.
Open about the work behind it.

Sapidus means roughly “flavourful”. We combine our own kitchen ideas with source research and AI assistance and aim to explain how the content is made.

01

We start with an everyday question

What does it taste like? When should it go into the pot? How do fresh and dried versions differ? Our own recipes and kitchen experience guide the content.

02

AI helps with the work

We use ChatGPT for drafting, structure, editing and source research. AI can suggest errors, misread a source or draw an overly confident conclusion. Claims should therefore be traceable to relevant sources.

03

Sources make information checkable

Factual information has source links where relevant. A citation is a place to investigate further, not a guarantee that the text is correct. AI-assisted source research does not count as human expert review.

04

Review and kitchen testing are different

Human expert review is stated explicitly when completed. Kitchen testing is stated when documented; publication does not automatically mean a recipe has been tested. Version and testing notes appear with the relevant recipe.

05

We take responsibility and correct mistakes

Sapidus develops over time. Information, recipes and wording may be corrected as better sources or new kitchen experience become available. A content change may require a new review.

Editorial responsibility

Responsible publisher

Sapi Consulting AS is the responsible publisher of Sapidus. We take responsibility for the content we publish, including work assisted by AI.

Transparency about our process

AI is a tool

ChatGPT is used for writing and source research. AI image tools are used for illustrations. AI-assisted checks and technical checks do not replace documented human review.

“A good cook follows the recipe. A skilled cook understands the spices.”
Our virtual kitchen

Illustrations made with AI.

Food and spice images are AI-generated illustrations, labelled beside images or on cards. They convey ingredients, dishes and atmosphere. Their appearance may differ from the food you cook, and they do not document kitchen testing of a recipe.

The illustrations are not identification images for mushrooms or other ingredients. Use suitable expert sources when safe identification is necessary.

How to read the content

Sources, review and experience.

Recipes and guides are prepared with AI assistance. Human expert review is confirmed only where specifically stated. Wording about sources or source research should not be read as a blanket confirmation of human expert review across all pages.

We distinguish between a practical kitchen idea, a recipe being developed and a documented kitchen test. Testing an earlier version does not automatically mean all subsequent changes have been tried.
