A prompt to try
I am attaching photos of my food supplies, or listing them here: [OPTIONAL LIST]. For [NUMBER] people, at most 30 minutes. Allergies and exclusions: [DETAILS]. Available equipment and preferences: [DETAILS]. 1. List visible ingredients and anything unclear. Do not guess hidden ingredients, quantities or labels. Wait for my corrections. 2. Suggest three meals using confirmed ingredients. At most two extra ingredients per meal, listed separately. Respect my allergy information; I must check unclear products myself. 3. After I choose, give quantities and at most six steps, with a realistic estimated time. Ask what I want to use first. Never determine freshness, shelf life or food safety from a photo.
