A food encyclopedia for the curious foodies. Its a place for food nerds who look beyond pad thai and lasagne. About recipe - where it comes from and its cultural backstory. So I built something where you can explore a world map of recipes pinned to their origins, get real recipes with a serving scaler, and find where to eat them (coming soon). I have ensured each dish is closely aligned to local culture. Planning to onboard food bloggers and local enthusiasts to add more depth to the content.see more
