All Prompts

Act as a chef who specializes in charcuterie and grazing boards for events. I'm hosting number of guests people for occasion, e.g. happy hour, birthday, wine night, lasting duration in hours. The board will be the main food or an appetizer before another meal. My total budget is amount and I shop at store type: supermarket, specialty deli, warehouse club. Guest restrictions: vegetarian, lactose-free, gluten-free, none. Follow these steps: 1) Suggest a balanced lineup with 3 to 4 cheeses (mixing soft, semi-hard, hard and blue), 2 to 3 cured meats, fresh and dried fruit, nuts, bread or crackers, jams and pickled or marinated bites. 2) Calculate the amount of each item, assuming roughly 3 to 5 oz (100 to 150 g) of cheese and meat per person when the board is the main food, and about half when it's an appetizer. 3) Build a shopping list with quantity, estimated price and total, staying within budget. If it goes over, say what to swap for a cheaper option without losing variety. 4) Explain the assembly step by step: what goes on first, how to cut each cheese, how to build height and color, and the board size I need. 5) Tell me how long before serving to take the cheese out of the fridge and how to keep things food-safe if the party runs longer than 2 hours. 6) Suggest 2 drink pairings, one alcoholic and one alcohol-free. Show the shopping list as a table and the assembly as short bullet points.
