Menu planning with dietary requirements considered

Scenario: I am hosting a party and I want to plan a menu with dietary requirements considered.

Prompt template to enter into ChatGPT:

I am hosting a [party type] party for [x number of] guests and need help planning a menu inspired by [x type of] cuisine. The menu must:

  • Accommodate guests with [x allergies and dietary requirements]. (Skip this if no dietary requirements are present)
  • Include recipes for drinks, appetisers, mains, sides, and desserts. (Refine this as needed)
  • Provide a table format with the following details for each dish:
    • Name of the dish
    • Dietary considerations
    • Full ingredient list with quantities for [x number of] servings
    • Links to reliable recipe websites
  • Generate a combined shopping list categorised by produce, meat/seafood, pantry items, and staples.
  • Ensure the menu is practical and uses seasonal ingredients commonly available in [your location]. Provide preparation tips and suggestions for optimising cooking timelines.

Example:

I am hosting a Christmas party for 20 guests and need help planning a menu inspired by Australian cuisine. The menu must:

  • Accommodate guests with milk allergies and gluten-free dietary requirements
  • Include recipes for drinks, appetisers, mains, sides, and desserts
  • Provide a table format with the following details for each dish:
    • Name of the dish
    • Dietary considerations
    • Full ingredient list with quantities for 20 servings
    • Links to reliable recipe websites

Next steps:

Copy the output into a Word document, print out your recipes or save the links in your browser favourites and you’re all set for the big day.


Countdown holiday preparation checklist

Scenario: I am planning to go on holiday and I want a countdown calendar with tips on what to pack, remember to bring and other helpful tips leading up to the holiday.

Prompt template to enter into ChatGPT:

I am going on holiday and need help creating a countdown calendar or schedule for the time leading up to it. My holiday is to [destination] on a [style of holiday] for [x amount of time] [with people and ages joining you if relevant] and I’m leaving on [departure date].

I want a daily plan with tasks, reminders, and preparations I should make to ensure I’m fully ready for the trip. Please include things like packing, booking confirmations, travel documents, and anything else I might need to take care of before I leave. (Refine this depending on how detailed you want the tips to be)

I’d love a balanced schedule that includes checklists and milestones as well as weather planning. Please format this as a checklist.

Example:

I am going on holiday and need help creating a countdown calendar or schedule for the time leading up to it. My holiday is to Rainbow Beach on a camping-style holiday for one week with my family including two children under 12 years, and I’m leaving on 8 December.

I want a daily plan with tasks, reminders, and preparations I should make to ensure I’m fully ready for the trip. Please include things like packing, booking confirmations, travel documents, and anything else I might need to take care of before I leave.
