What they did
1) Create a ChatGPT project for household cooking. Add culinary reference files and maintain a stock list covering ingredients, opened jars and food that needs using. Include household size and recent meals. 2) Each evening, supply the actual ingredient quantities and serving deadline; the author gave ground pork, vegetables, an unfamiliar sauce paste and a 5:30 dinner time. 3) Ask for measurements, sauce ratios, preparation order, substitutions and a cooking timeline. Keep follow-up questions in the project so the pantry context stays available. 4) Cook from that sequence and update the stock list as ingredients change, ready for the next dinner.
How it went
The parent reports using the project for almost every dinner over a year and receiving complete preparation workflows.
