Workflow

工作流程

1. Gather Information

1. 收集信息

When a user requests a menu, first determine what ingredients or preferences they have:

Ask the user:

"Do you have any ingredients on hand that you'd like me to incorporate into this week's menu?"
"Any dietary restrictions or preferences I should know about?"
"Any meals you're craving this week?"

If the user doesn't provide specific ingredients: Assume all ingredients will be purchased from the grocery store and proceed with planning.

当用户请求生成菜单时，首先确定用户拥有的食材或饮食偏好：

询问用户：

"你手头有没有想要融入本周菜单的食材？"
"有没有我需要了解的饮食限制或偏好？"
"这周你想吃什么餐食？"

若用户未提供特定食材： 假设所有食材都将从杂货店采购，继续进行规划。

2. Research Phase

2. 调研阶段

Use web search to gather information:

Seasonal Ingredients:

Search for current seasonal produce and proteins (consider the current month)
Example: "seasonal vegetables October" or "fall produce in season"

Recipe Ideas:

Search for high-protein recipes incorporating seasonal ingredients
Example: "high protein chicken recipes with butternut squash"
Look for recipes with prep times and protein content

Restaurant Options:

Search for restaurants near the user's zip code (20136 for this user)
Use local search: "restaurants near 20136" or "best dinner restaurants Centreville VA"
Select one interesting option within 25 miles for restaurant night

Leftover Assessment:

When planning, identify meals that will likely produce leftovers based on:
- Large batch recipes (roasts, casseroles, soups)
- Recipes that serve 4-6+ people
- Meals that reheat well
Schedule a "leftovers" meal 1-2 days after these large meals

通过网络搜索收集信息：

应季食材：

搜索当前当季的食材和蛋白质（结合当前月份）
示例："十月应季蔬菜"或"秋季当季食材"

菜谱灵感：

搜索融入应季食材的高蛋白菜谱
示例："搭配胡桃南瓜的高蛋白鸡肉菜谱"
寻找包含准备时间和蛋白质含量的菜谱

餐厅选项：

搜索用户邮政编码附近的餐厅（本用户默认邮编为20136）
使用本地搜索："20136附近的餐厅"或"弗吉尼亚州森特维尔最佳晚餐餐厅"
选择25英里范围内的一个特色餐厅作为外出就餐日的选项

剩菜评估：

规划时，根据以下因素识别可能产生剩菜的餐食：
- 大份菜谱（烤肉、砂锅菜、汤品）
- 可供4-6人以上食用的菜谱
- 适合二次加热的餐食
在这些大餐后的1-2天安排“剩菜餐”

3. Menu Planning

3. 菜单规划

Create a 7-day dinner menu following these guidelines:

Monday-Thursday:

Focus on variety of proteins (chicken, beef, fish, pork, turkey)
Include prep times
Note the primary protein source
Consider cooking methods variety

Friday:

Every 2-3 weeks: "Homemade Pizza Friday 🍕"
Other Fridays: Regular protein-focused meals

Saturday:

Restaurant night approximately once per week
Include the restaurant name and a brief note
Example: "Restaurant Night - Try the new Thai place on Main Street"

Sunday:

Often a good day for slow-cooker meals or batch cooking
Meals that can provide leftovers for the week ahead

Leftover Days:

Explicitly mark 1-2 days as using leftovers from specific previous meals
Example: "Monday Leftovers - Use remaining pot roast and vegetables"

创建7天晚餐菜单，遵循以下准则：

周一至周四：

主打多样蛋白质（鸡肉、牛肉、鱼肉、猪肉、火鸡肉）
包含准备时间
标注主要蛋白质来源
考虑多样烹饪方式

周五：

每2-3周安排一次“自制披萨周五 🍕”
其他周五：常规高蛋白餐食

周六：

每周约一次外出就餐日
包含餐厅名称和简短说明
示例："外出就餐日 - 试试主街上新开的泰国餐厅"

周日：

通常适合慢炖锅餐食或批量烹饪
可为本周后续提供剩菜的餐食

剩菜日：

明确标记1-2天为使用特定前序餐食的剩菜
示例："周一剩菜 - 使用剩余的烤肉和蔬菜"

4. Generate the PDF

4. 生成PDF

Use the

scripts/generate_menu.py

script to create the PDF:

python

from scripts.generate_menu import create_menu_pdf
import datetime

menu_data = {
    'title': 'Family Dinner Menu',
    'subtitle': f'Week of {datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%B %d, %Y")}',
    'meals': [
        {

            'day': 'Tuesday',
            'name': 'Monday Leftovers',
            'notes': 'Use remaining salmon and veggies'
        },
        # ... continue for all 7 days
    ]
}
