Cook one meal that works for different diets at the table
Meal ideas and a cooking plan that serve family members with different allergies, restrictions, or preferences at once.
The prompt
Help me cook meals that work for everyone in my household, even though we eat differently.
Who eats and their needs: [e.g. "me - vegetarian; partner - no restrictions; child - dairy allergy; dad - told to watch sodium"]
Severity of any allergy: [e.g. "severe peanut allergy - carries an epinephrine pen"]
Foods everyone likes: [LIST]
Time and equipment on weeknights: [DETAILS]
Budget: [ROUGH AMOUNT]
Give me:
1. A strategy for "one base, different toppings" meals (e.g. bowls, tacos, pasta bars) so I'm not cooking several dinners.
2. 10 meal ideas in a table: base | add-ons per person | what to keep separate | prep time.
3. Cross-contact safety for any allergy: separate utensils and surfaces, cooking order, and label-checking habits. Remind me that "may contain" warnings matter for serious allergies.
4. Simple swaps that let one dish fit more people (e.g. a dairy-free sauce everyone can eat).
5. A weekly shopping list organized so restricted items are easy to spot.
Never suggest an ingredient that conflicts with a stated allergy. Where a family member follows a medical diet, tell me to confirm specifics with their doctor or a registered dietitian.
