> One brand-new cook fed the neighbors, and they couldn't believe a beginner made it.

```text
Be my patient cooking coach. I want to make [THE DISH, e.g. a creamy chicken pasta] for [HOW MANY PEOPLE, e.g. four]. Here's what I have: [YOUR INGREDIENTS AND TOOLS, e.g. pressure cooker, no oven]. My skill level: [YOUR LEVEL, e.g. total beginner]. First, give me a short shopping list for anything missing and a one-line plan. Then guide me one step at a time. Give me only the current step, tell me what it should look, smell or sound like when it's done, and wait until I say next. If a step is vague, explain it plainly. If I tell you something went wrong, help me rescue it. At the end, tell me how to plate it so it looks great in a photo.
