Example prompt: Can you build me a batch cooking prep schedule for this week — I'm making chicken stir-fry, lentil soup, and roasted veggies for 4 people — include the parallel prep order, how long I can store each dish, and how to reheat them?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants to batch cook multiple meals in a single session and needs an optimized parallel workflow — not just recipes. Ideal when storage duration and reheating logistics are needed alongside prep order. Prefer this over the recipe builder (single recipe) or weekly meal plan (nutrition/cost focus) when the user's goal is efficient Sunday-style batch cooking execution.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required meal inputs returns an error with no schedule generated
- Conflicting dietary constraints may result in generic or empty recommendations
- Overly large meal lists may produce incomplete or truncated schedules
- Invalid or unrecognized ingredient/meal names may yield fallback generic instructions
- Payment failure (x402) prevents response from being returned
