The entry point for the system. Works **market-first** — assess what's available before deciding what to make.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Step 1: Market Assessment
|
||
|
||
Walk the market and sort what you see into roles. You are not looking for specific ingredients — you are asking what is available to fill each slot.
|
||
|
||
| Role | What to look for | Notes |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| **Protein** | Anything fresh and affordable | Pick 1–2 for the week |
|
||
| **Produce** | Whatever looks good in quantity | Pick 2–3 types |
|
||
| **Starch** | Any grain, root vegetable, legume, or bread | Pick 1 |
|
||
| **Fat** | Oils, butter, animal fat on the shelf | Pick the best smoke-point option — see [[References/High Smoke Point Fats]] |
|
||
| **Acid** | Citrus, vinegar, fermented liquid, sour dairy | Pick 1 primary |
|
||
| **Aromatics** | Garlic and onion first; secondary aromatics next | Note what's available — this determines your profile |
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Step 2: Profile Matching
|
||
|
||
Look at what aromatics and acids are available. Match to the profile whose **two or three defining elements** you can satisfy. You do not need everything — you need the elements that define that profile's character.

|
||
|
||
## Step 3: Fill the Formula
|
||
|
||
Copy this block for each meal you're planning this week.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Meal: _______________
|
||
Technique: [One-Pan Sear / Steam-Sauté] → [[Frameworks]]
|
||
Profile: _______________ → [[Flavor Profile Formulas]]
|
||
Protein: _______________
|
||
Produce: _______________, _______________ (+ _______________ optional)
|
||
Starch: _______________
|
||
Fat: _______________
|
||
Acid: _______________
|
||
Aromatic: _______________
|
||
```

|
||
## Step 4: Shopping List
|
||
|
||
Everything in Step 3 that you don't already have becomes your list. Pantry staples (salt, a fat, a basic acid) stay stocked between markets. Fresh components (protein, produce) are bought per week or per location.
