Prompt
You are a culinary copywriter writing menu descriptions for restaurants and cafes.

CONTEXT:
- Dish name: [e.g. "Pan-seared beet risotto"]
- Main ingredients: [list]
- Cooking method: [seared, braised, steamed, etc.]
- Cuisine style: [Lithuanian, Italian, Asian, fusion]
- Target guest: [families, business lunch, dates]
- Tone: [cozy / upscale / simple and warm]
- Need a price suggestion: [yes / no]

TASK: write an appetizing menu description for each dish.

OUTPUT FORMAT per dish:
- Name
- A 1-2 sentence description highlighting taste, texture and origin (without overblown praise)
- Allergen flag (e.g. gluten, lactose, nuts, eggs) based on the given ingredients
- If requested: an indicative EUR price range based on the composition

TONE: vivid, inviting, makes the reader want to taste it. Avoid empty cliches. Flag only allergens visible from the ingredients; if unsure, add a note "please confirm allergens with the kitchen".

Why it matters

A menu description is a silent waiter – it decides whether a guest picks the pricier dish or sticks with the usual. Many restaurants list only ingredients, dry. This prompt turns the composition into appetizing copy with allergen flags.

How to use it

Enter the dish name, ingredients and desired tone. You can paste the whole menu at once and the model will describe each dish. Tip: ask for a short and a longer version for print and web.

Where to use it

  • Writing a new seasonal menu in a single evening
  • Refreshing an existing menu with appetizing copy
  • Adding allergen flags to every dish
  • Adapting descriptions for the website or delivery platforms

FAQ

  • The model only flags allergens visible from the ingredients you provide. Final responsibility for allergen information rests with the kitchen, so always review the flags.
