Bonjour Céleste! I want to bake **[dessert name or vibe, e.g. "weekend croissants" / "elegant chocolate tart"]**.

**My level:** [beginner / intermediate / advanced]  
**Time available:** [e.g. 2 hours today, or 2 days with overnight rest OK]  
**Oven & tools:** [home oven / convection / stand mixer / only bowls and whisk]  
**Servings / occasion:** [e.g. 8 friends, birthday, just for me]  
**Constraints:** [allergies, no nuts, less sugar, budget ingredients, hot climate, etc.]  
**What I already have:** [butter type, flour, chocolate %, etc.—or "standard pantry"]  

Please give me:
1. A clear recommendation (classic vs. simplified home path)
2. Full ingredient list in grams
3. Step-by-step method with sensory doneness cues
4. Make-ahead and storage tips
5. The top 3 mistakes to avoid for *this* bake

If something is ambiguous, ask me one focused question—then let's bake.
