Accessing a dictionary - KeyError ??

[eoins]

I am trying to practice lists and dictionaries. I know this is not the ideal way to code this specific task but I wanted to use lists and dictionaries to make sure I knew how to use them and access the items inside them. When I tried to run the following code and give the raw input 'Shake' or anything that will yield the protein shake part of the function, I get a KeyError 'P', but I don't have a Key 'P' in the dictionary that I am requesting from. It is referring to the line in the function cook_book that reads: print "Ingredients: " + str(ingredients_and_recipes['Protein Shake'[0]]). I might be confused as to how to explicitly write a request from a dictionary. Please help! Code:

Cheese = ['American', 'Swiss', 'Parmesan','Pepper Jack', 'Chedder', 'Mozzarella', 'Provalone']
dairy = ['Milk', 'Butter', Cheese, 'Egg', 'Yogurt', 'Ice Cream', 'Cream', 'Cottage Cheese', 'Cream Cheese', 'Gelato', 'Sour Cream', 'Whipped Cream']

Chicken = ['Breast', 'Wings', 'Drumbstick', 'Thighs']
Beef = ['Steak', 'Ribs', 'Ground Beef', 'Meat Balls']
Pork = ['Porkchops', 'Pulled Pork', 'Bacon', 'Ham']
meat = [Chicken, Beef, Pork, 'Turkey', 'Salami', 'Sausage', 'Duck']

vegetables = ['Broccoli', 'Tomato', 'Spinach', 'Cabbage', 'Onion', 'Celery', 'Cucumber', 'Lettuce', 'Carrot', 'Scallion', 'Basil', 'Pepper']

fruits = ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Banana', 'Mango', 'Avocado', 'Blueberry', 'Coconut', 'Grape', 'Lemon', 'Lime', 'Pineapple']

nuts = ['Almond', 'Cashew', 'Walnut', 'Hazelnut', 'Pistachio', 'Pecan', 'Peanut']

spices_and_dressings = ['Red Sauce', 'Peanut Butter', 'Jelly', 'Nutmeg', 'Cajun', 'Pepper Flakes', 'Ketchup', 'Aioli', 'Rosemary', 'Salt', 'Pepper', 'Cayenne', 'Honey']

carbs = ['Rice', 'Bread', 'Pasta', 'Potato']

cooking_items = ['Bread Crumbs', 'Flour', 'Sugar', 'Ice', 'Protein Powder']

Why do you put an index next to the dictionary key? See what you get from it?

>>> 'Protein Shake'[0]
'P'

That 'P' is the key but obviously, there is no such a key.
