Recipe Synthesizer

Multi-source

Research-intensive recipe synthesis from 8-10+ diverse sources.

Recipe research and synthesis interface

When you ask for a recipe, this skill doesn’t just give you one source—it researches 8-10+ recipes, identifies patterns, notes variations, and synthesizes a comprehensive guide.

The Problem with Single-Source Recipes

Every recipe website has biases:

  • Some optimize for SEO, not taste
  • Some assume equipment you don’t have
  • Some skip crucial steps that “everyone knows”

The Solution

Recipe Synthesizer aggregates multiple sources to find the signal in the noise:

  1. Research: Searches 8-10+ diverse sources (blogs, video transcripts, forums)
  2. Pattern Recognition: Identifies common techniques vs. unique variations
  3. Synthesis: Combines the best approaches with clear decision points
  4. Customization: Notes where you can adapt based on preferences

Example Output

RS butter chicken

## Core Technique (consensus across 9 sources)
- Marinate chicken in yogurt + spices for 2-6 hours
- Char chicken under broiler (not pan-fry)
- Bloom spices in butter before adding tomatoes
- Finish with cream + kasuri methi

## Variations to Consider
- Cashew paste: 4/9 sources recommend for creamier texture
- Sugar: Divisive—some add 1 tsp to balance acidity
- Char level: Indian sources go darker than Western adaptations

## Equipment Notes
- Broiler strongly preferred over pan
- If no broiler: grill or very hot cast iron
