Recipe API

Skills / Dinner Party Host

A menu every guest can eat — and a run-sheet that lands it hot.

Tell Claude the headcount, courses, and every guest's dietary constraints. It builds a menu with a complete path for your most restricted guest, scales quantities to purchasable units, and works backward from serving time into a day-of cooking timeline.

What you get

MENU (8 guests — vegan ✓ and gluten-free ✓ covered every course)
Starter: Roasted Pepper & Almond Soup (GF, vegan) — make day before
Main:    Herb-Crusted Lamb + Stuffed Aubergine (vegan main equivalent)

RUN-SHEET → 7:00pm service
Friday: soup, dessert base · Sat 3:30: aubergines prepped
6:10 lamb in · 6:40 sides on · 6:55 rest lamb, warm plates, serve soup
⚠ Bottleneck: single oven at two temps — aubergine slot moved to 5:45.

Things to ask

“Dinner party for 8 on Saturday: one vegan, one gluten-free, three courses, Mediterranean-ish”

“Plan a holiday dinner for 12 with a make-ahead dessert and only one oven”

“Scale this menu to 10 people and give me the cooking timeline for a 7pm sit-down”
