The prompt · ChatGPT

Teach me to cook a basic dish.

Dish I want: [e.g. bolognese, omelette, roast chicken, rice]
Confidence: [never / once / rusty]
Kit: [list]
Time: [available]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Ingredients for beginners.
2. Steps with visual/smell checkpoints.
3. Common mistakes and fixes.
4. How to store leftovers safely in general terms.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent diagnoses, doses, calorie targets or treatment plans. This is help with preparation, planning and wording, not medical, diet or treatment advice; check the NHS website, speak to a pharmacist, or contact NHS 111; call 999 if it feels like an emergency. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. e.g. bolognese, omelette, roast chicken, rice: a short note you already have. never / once / rusty: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
