Cooked it?

We count cooks. We don’t score dishes.

A number out of five would be rating somebody’s inherited foodway. A cook count says something truer and smaller: the record left the page and made dinner.

No account, no score, no stars. One tap.

This one is ours

Root Life wrote this composition, so there is somebody here to answer for it. Tell us plainly what happened — too much heat, not enough salt, a step that made no sense.

Kept. It reaches us with the next ledger sync.

Held as received

This record came to us from {{ heldCommunity }}. It is not Root Life’s to grade, so there is no comment box here. If something in the attribution is wrong, that is a correction we want — tell us through attribution, not through a review.

One email with the method, so it is on your phone at the stove. Nothing else unless you ask, and the address is not kept on our side.

On its way to {{ emailDraft }}. Nothing is stored on our side — the address stays in this browser so we do not ask again — how we handle it.

How the flavour is built

Green sauces and one-pot stews across Afro-Indigenous kitchens keep solving the same four-part problem with different plants. Naming the parts makes a recipe adaptable instead of copyable.

Thickened with {{ thickenerName }}

{{ thickenerWhat }}

A thickener is not a variable. Swap this one for another culture’s and you have cooked a different dish — which is fine, as long as you call it by its own name.

Texture · {{ textureName }}

{{ textureWhat }}

A cook’s note, not a clinical texture level. IDDSI levels for swallowing difficulty are assigned after an assessment by a speech-language pathologist — not something a recipe can award itself.

Cooking guidance drawn from published uptake research, not medical advice. Absorption effects are clearest within a single meal and vary by person; anything clinical belongs with a dietitian or physician.
