The world atlas of recipes

Every dish, pinned to the city that cooks it

A reference built on one rule: a recipe is a photograph and a single coordinate. Tangia in Marrakech, cassoulet in Castelnaudary, lokma in five countries — each version has its own page, and none is called the real one.

One dish, several countries

A family gathers the versions of one dish without ranking them. Each keeps its own page, its own coordinate and its own author.

Origin polls

A poll opens on its own as soon as a dish is cooked in at least three countries. Its result is an opinion: it determines no origin and changes no recipe.

What makes this atlas a reference

  1. 1

    One recipe, one coordinate

    Every published version carries a single, final point on the map. Never an area, never a territory, never multiple origins.

  2. 2

    Variants coexist

    Two cooks, two cities, two versions of the same dish: two distinct recipes, equally legitimate. The atlas never names the real one.

  3. 3

    Debate is content, not authority

    The community can share a view on where a dish comes from. That result is shown as an opinion: it moves no point and ranks no one.
