Decide dinner in one press: a cuisine, a protein, a cooking method, a sauce and a side dish, all drawn at once. Free, no signup, no recipe blog.
This preset stacks the five decisions a meal is actually made of -- the cuisine, the protein, the cooking method, the sauce and the side -- so one press hands you a whole plan instead of a single ingredient. It is deliberately not a recipe: it gives you a direction and leaves the cooking to you, which is why it works with whatever is already in your fridge.
Every result here is drawn using crypto.getRandomValues() -- the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure randomness -- instead of Math.random(), so it's genuinely unpredictable, not just statistically random. Learn more.
The obvious use is breaking the decision paralysis of what to cook tonight, especially in a household that eats the same six dinners on rotation. It also works as a genuine cooking challenge -- take what it deals and make it work -- and as a weekly shop planner if you draw a few meals at once. Each block keeps its own filter, so you can pin the cuisine, exclude meat, or restrict the method to what your kitchen can do on a weeknight, and reroll any single part without losing the rest.
