How it works

There are two ways a dish can have a twin somewhere in the world

Most recipe sites search by ingredient. We measure two axes at once — and they often point to different dishes.

Axis 1 · pairs

Same ingredients, worlds apart

Each row is a pair: two dishes, and the ingredient overlap between them.
