On the menu
Personal AI Chef
Dinners for your table, your budget, and what’s already in the kitchen. This is a recipe: five cards, in order. You leave with a cooking book.
The week’s menu, list, and packet live in the Private AI Chef runbook. It needs this recipe first.
What’s included
- At Your Table — Who you cook for, allergies first, and the stores you actually use (names you type, not an app). You keep Your Food & Cooking Profile.
- What’s in Your Kitchen? — Fridge, pantry, pans you reach for. An honest on-hand list. No shopping list on this card. You keep Your Kitchen Snapshot.
- Your Cooking Goal — “Three dinners” is enough. A week of dinners is also enough if you want that. Dinner-first is a suggestion you can decline. You keep Your Cooking Goal.
- Your Personal Menu — Meals inside that goal. A sauce, a side, or a drink can be named now; the method waits. You keep Your Personal Menu.
- Shop & Cook — Recipes written out, make-ahead if the dish keeps, and a checkbox list you take to the store yourself. Recreate a dish only if you ask. No cart. No next week. You keep Your Personal Cooking Book.
How it works
How to plan dinners around your family.
Step 2
Read it back
Fix allergies and anything it guessed. Say yes before the next card. Later cards use the pages you already kept.
Step 3
Cook from the book
The last card is the cooking book: the dishes, a list you take to the store, and a page that says where to start.
A few things you may be wondering
Questions, plainly.
Is this the week’s menu?
This recipe is the cooking book. The Private AI Chef runbook is the week’s menu, list, and packet, and nothing checks out until you say so. You need this recipe first.
Will it shop for me?
No. If you name a store, the list is written for a trip you take yourself. It does not open an app, fill a cart, or add a pickup to your calendar.
Do I need to plan a whole week?
No. Three dinners is a complete answer. A week of dinners is also complete if you choose it. If breakfast, lunch, and dinner all at once feels like too much, start with dinners until this feels easy.
