Pick dinner without rewriting the recipe

What you'll need

• Short notes on two or more recipes you already have
• Your available time, ingredients and equipment

Steps

1. Paste recipe summaries and tonight’s constraints, leaving out personal details.
2. Ask for a choice based only on those notes, without substitutions.
3. Check the recommendation against the original recipe before cooking.

Choose dinner using only the notes below. Return plain text with no Markdown formatting, under 120 words. Name one recommended dish and explain how it fits the stated constraints. For every other dish, give one reason it is a weaker fit. End with one missing detail to check, or say that no missing detail blocks the choice. If no dish fits, say so rather than forcing a winner. Do not invent ingredients, substitutions, cooking instructions or timings. Notes: [paste recipe summaries and tonight’s constraints]

What you should get

Under 120 words of plain text: one recommendation with a constraint-based reason, one rejection reason per alternative, and a final missing-detail check. No invented substitutions, instructions or timings.

Tested example: Tested on sample input

Dinner needs to be ready within 30 minutes. I have one saucepan and one frying pan. The lentil soup recipe takes 25 minutes and uses lentils, stock and carrots; I have all three. The baked pasta takes 45 minutes and needs an oven dish I do not have. The mushroom rice takes 30 minutes and needs mushrooms, rice and stock. I have rice and stock but no mushrooms. I do not want to shop.

I recommend lentil soup. Its 25-minute recipe fits the 30-minute limit, and you have all three ingredients—lentils, stock and carrots—so no shopping is needed.

Baked pasta is a weaker fit because its 45-minute cooking time exceeds your limit; it also requires an oven dish you lack.

Mushroom rice is a weaker fit because you have no mushrooms and do not want to shop.

One missing detail to check: whether the lentil soup can be made with your one saucepan and one frying pan.
