Three things and stop

The most effective menu descriptions name the method, the main ingredient and one finishing detail. Beyond that the reader stops reading, and the dish sounds fussy rather than good.

Write what is true

Describe what is actually on the plate. A description that oversells arrives at the table as a disappointment, and that is much more expensive than an ordinary description.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these menu descriptions in something I sell?

Yes. Everything here is assembled from ordinary words and invented syllables, so a result belongs to whoever uses it first. Do search the one you pick before you print it on anything — free to use is not the same as unused.

Why do I get the same list when I come back?

The draw is seeded, so one seed always produces one list. That is deliberate: you can bookmark a result or read it out to somebody and still find it later. Press Generate for a new seed and a completely different set.
