NAME
Convert::CookingTimes - work out cooking times adjusted for temperature

SYNOPSIS
Given a set of item names, temperatures and durations, works out the
average temperature and adjusts the times to suit that temperature, then
returns a list of suggested timings.

my ($temperature, @steps) = @steps = Convert::CookingTimes->adjust_times(
{ name => 'Chicken breasts', temp => 200, time => 20 },
{ name => 'Chips', temp => 220, time = 25 },
);
say "Warm oven up to $temperature degrees first.";
for my $step (@steps) {
say "Put $step->{name} in the oven, and wait for $step->{time_until_next}";
}

# You can also feed the result of adjust_times to summarise_instructions to
# provide a simple set of instructions, e.g.:
say Convert::CookingTimes->summarise_instructions(
Convert::CookingTimes->adjust_times(\@items)
);

DESCRIPTION
Often find yourself cooking a variety of things, the cooking
instructions for each requiring a different temperature and time?

This module attempts to work out the appropriate oven temperature as an
average of all the items, and adjusts their cooking times based on that
temperature - so if they're going to be at a higher temperature the time
is reduced and vice versa.

Results may vary - providing items with a wide variation of temperatures
could result in some foods being cooked at sub-optimal temperatures, and
obviously you need to sanity-check the results, and be particularly
careful to check that meat and poultry has reached a safe internal
temperature etc. This is an algorhythm, not a cook!

SUBROUTINES/METHODS
adjust_times
Takes a list or arrayref of hashrefs, each of which contains details of
an item being cooked, with the keys:

name
The name of the item

temp
The temperature the item's cooking instructions call for, in degrees
Celcius

time
The cooking time the item's cooking instructions call for, in
minutes

Returns a suggested oven temperature, and an arrayref of cooking times
adjusted to suit that temperature.

summarise_instructions
Given the results of adjust_times, produce a list of instructions.

For instance:

- Warm oven up to 200 degrees
- Add Chicken Breasts, cook for 5 minutes
- Add Oven Chips, cook for 20 minutes

Returns a list of instruction steps if called in list context, or that
list joined with newlines if called in scalar context.
