Generation 1B
After the hilarious failure intriguing scientific experiment of Generation 1 was concluded, Nathan decided to retry the generation using a slightly tweaked algorithm that omitted meat(due to food safety concerns), and used a predefined list of possible actions(to reduce the incidence of lines like "LET,cake,cake,cook,cake,cake,"). The new version also produces significantly shorter recipes in order to reduce program bloat.
