What is this recipe not telling me?
Before you commit two hours and a chicken to a recipe from a stranger.
Read this recipe the way an experienced cook reads it before starting. Tell me the real total time including resting and chilling, anything the method assumes that the ingredient list does not mention, and the one step that decides whether the dish works. Put a number on every vague instruction. Recipe:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Technique and recipes. Why a step works, what a recipe is not telling you, and writing down the dish you cook from memory.
