Plan a Dinner Party Menu for Mixed Dietary Needs

One guest is vegan, another cannot do gluten, and you still want it to feel like a proper dinner. Give it the headcount, the restrictions, the mood and your prep time, and it builds a cohesive starter, main and dessert that work for everyone without cooking three separate meals. Sane prep timing included.

Help me plan a cohesive three-course dinner party menu for {guest_count} guests with the following dietary requirements: {dietary_restrictions}. The occasion is {occasion} and I want the food to feel {atmosphere} (e.g. relaxed and rustic, elegant and refined). My cooking skill level is {skill_level} and I have {prep_time_hours} hours of active prep time available across the day. Suggest a starter, main, and dessert that work together as a menu, considering flavour progression, colour contrast, and textural variety. For each course, confirm how it satisfies the dietary requirements and flag any cross-contamination risks. Include a prep timeline so I know what to cook ahead and what to finish last-minute. Suggest one wine or non-alcoholic pairing per course.
