Roots and Recipes

No culture forgotten. No person left hungry. We celebrate heritage through the universal language of food by suggesting cultural recipes based on what’s in your kitchen or a local business to support.

No person deserves to be hungry. With increasing food insecurity and alienation of immigrant communities, our project helps preserve and embrace cultural heritage through the universal language of food. Our simple web app allows users to find healthy recipes with cultural roots. Users simply input the ingredients they currently have, their available appliances, and their maximum cooking preparation time. In seconds, our system recommends culturally significant recipes from around the world, spotlighting the stories and traditions behind each dish.

To deepen real-world impact, we also use a restaurant API to connect users with local small businesses. This allows users to support their local communities and discover accessible restaurants.

Our platform doesn’t just help you decide what to cook, it helps you discover where your food comes from, whose stories it carries, and how you can support the cultures that shaped it.
