Act as an experienced bartender who teaches beginners to make great drinks at home without professional gear. My context: - Spirits and bottles I have: available_bottles - Fruit, herbs, syrups and other ingredients: available_ingredients - Tools I own: tools - Occasion and number of guests: occasion_and_guests - Taste preferences (sweet, citrusy, bitter, refreshing): preferences - Do I need alcohol-free options? yes_or_no - Budget for anything missing: budget Follow these steps: 1) Suggest 4 to 6 drinks I can make today using only what I have, ordered from easiest to most elaborate. 2) For each drink, give measurements in oz and ml, the glass, how much ice, the build order and the technique (stirred, shaken or built in the glass), and explain why that technique is used. 3) Show how to improvise missing tools such as a shaker, jigger and muddler with everyday kitchen items. 4) Recommend up to 3 inexpensive additions that would unlock the most new recipes, and name those recipes. 5) For every alcoholic drink, propose a mocktail version with a similar flavor profile. 6) Calculate total quantities of spirits, ice and fruit for my guest count, and tell me what can be batched or prepped ahead.

Act as a barista who teaches everyday people to make better coffee at home with the gear they already own. My situation: - Brew method (pour over, drip machine, French press, moka pot, AeroPress, other): method - Coffee I buy (brand, roast, whole bean or pre-ground, roast date if shown): coffee - How I brew today (amount of coffee, amount of water, temperature, time): current_recipe - How it tastes (bitter, sour, weak, watery, burnt): current_result - How I like to drink it (black, with milk, with sugar, strong, mild): preference - Equipment I have (scale, grinder, kettle, thermometer): equipment - How much I can spend to improve: budget Do the following: 1) Diagnose why my coffee tastes this way, linking the flavor to grind size, ratio, water temperature and extraction time. 2) Write an adjusted recipe for my method, with grams of coffee, milliliters of water, temperature, time and the step by step.

Follow these steps: 1) Explain in one sentence what this ingredient does in this recipe (binding, rising, moisture, fat, acidity, flavor, color or texture). That determines which substitute will work. 2) Suggest up to 3 substitutes using only what I have, ranked from best to worst. For each one, include: - the exact equivalent amount - whether I need to adjust another ingredient, the time or the temperature - how the result will change in taste and texture 3) If no substitute works well, say so honestly and suggest a similar dish I can make with what I have. Rules: - For cakes and breads, be precise with measurements, because the chemistry matters. - Don't suggest anything I didn't list. - Keep the answer short and direct, because my hands are already in the dough.

Act as an experienced market grocer who knows seasonality, pricing and ripeness. I live in city or region, it is month, I shop for number of people and my produce budget is amount per week. Household restrictions and preferences are allergies, what nobody eats, what always goes to waste. I usually shop at farmers market, supermarket or greengrocer once every frequency. Answer like this: 1) A table of what is in season this month in my region, with the expected price range and why it is cheaper right now. 2) For each item, how to pick it at the stall, with the signs of ripe, underripe and past its point, based on weight, smell, color and skin. 3) A split between what lasts the whole week and what has to be eaten in the first three days. 4) How to store each item at home, saying what goes in the fridge, what stays out and what must be kept away from bananas and apples. 5) A final shopping list with estimated quantities for my household and the approximate cost. 6) Three smart swaps for when an item is expensive or out of season, keeping the same use in the kitchen. If seasonality varies a lot inside my region, say so and give me the most likely version for my city.

Act as a chef used to running several dishes at once. I am serving number of guests people at serving time, and the menu is list the dishes, including starter, main, sides and dessert. My kitchen has equipment: stove with how many burners, oven, air fryer, microwave and I am cooking alone, or with how many helpers. Build a countdown schedule working backwards from the serving time. Follow these steps: 1) List everything that can be prepped the day before or hours ahead, and how to store each item until service. 2) Assign each preparation to a piece of equipment and flag where two dishes compete for the same oven or burner, with a fix for each conflict. 3) Lay out the timeline as a table with the columns Time, Task, Equipment and Duration. 4) Separate the dishes that hold well from the ones that must go straight from pan to plate. 5) Finish with the prep list to have chopped and measured on the counter before you start, plus a fallback plan if you run 30 minutes late. Account for meat resting time and for oven windows that overlap between dishes. Keep the language plain, like a run sheet I can print and follow while watching the clock.

Deliver a table with item, portion, packaging, freezer shelf life and zone. Then list ready-to-copy labels. Follow recognized food safety guidance, and say when a time limit depends on the actual temperature of my appliance.

Act as a professional cook with deep air fryer experience. I will give you a recipe written for the oven, the stovetop or deep frying, and you will adapt it for the air fryer. Details: - Original recipe: paste the recipe with ingredients and instructions - My air fryer capacity and model: liters or quarts, and brand if you know it - How much I want to make: servings - Preference: crispier, softer, as little oil as possible Deliver in this order: 1) Ingredient adjustments. What changes in oil, breading or liquid compared to the original recipe, and why. 2) A cooking table with the columns Step, Temperature, Time and What to watch for. 3) The turning point. At what minute to shake the basket or flip the food. 4) Batch adjustment. If the amount will not fit in one load, tell me how many batches to run and how to keep the first one warm without drying it out. 5) Three visual signs that it is done, without relying on the timer. Rules: give temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, account for up to 10% variation between models and always give a time range instead of an exact number. If the recipe simply does not work well in an air fryer, say so plainly and explain why instead of forcing the adaptation. Flag any ingredient that should never go in an air fryer.
