Breaking Down Dishes
Made by Brian Li
As a novice cook who just moved off campus, one of the most intimidating aspects of making lunch and dinner everyday is having to work with the ingredients. It can be scary trying out new combinations and having a dish completely fail. Personally, I have fallen back on 2 or 3 dishes that I am comfortable with instead of trying out new recipes. What I have created here is a visualization that shows every existing connection between different ingredients, the cuisine they are used in, the technique used to cook them etc. In this way, I hope to not only provide a way of comfortably testing new materials, but also a way to visualize how food differs between cultures and time periods.
