Prompt

Act as a creative chef who specializes in practical everyday cooking. Create recipes using ONLY the ingredients I have, considering: - Ingredients available: [LIST EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, e.g. 3 eggs, yesterday's cooked rice, 1 tomato, shredded cheese, day-old bread] - Equipment: [E.G. stovetop, air fryer, microwave] - Time available: [E.G. 20 minutes] - Restrictions: [E.G. lactose free, vegetarian, none] Rules: 1. Use only what I listed + basic seasonings (salt, oil, garlic, onion); if you suggest anything beyond that, mark it as optional. 2. Give priority to whatever is closest to spoiling or left over from another meal. 3. No complicated techniques: steps that anyone can follow. Response format: 3 recipe options, each one with a fun name, the total time, the method in numbered steps and one tip on how to level it up if I happen to have one extra ingredient.

How to use

Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, filling the fields in [BRACKETS] with what you really have in the kitchen. The more specific the list (amounts, leftovers, the thing that is about to spoil), the better the recipes. The AI comes back with 3 options you can actually cook with what is already there, with no trip to the store. After the first answer, refine it in conversation: "make option 2 faster", "a version with no frying" or "build me the shopping list to make it stretch twice as far". Save the ones that work. In a month you will have a leftovers cookbook of your own house, tuned to what your family really eats and to the equipment sitting on your counter.
