FAQ
Common questions
Vietnamese dishes come from local markets, vendors and home cooks in southern Vietnam; Chinese dishes are from the Cantonese and Sichuan home cooking this kitchen grew up on. Each one is cooked and re-tested before publishing.
Yes. Every recipe has exact weights in grams, temperatures in °C, and times in minutes, plus a troubleshooting table for the most common ways it can go wrong.
No. A large pot, a sharp knife and a sheet pan cover almost everything here. Each recipe lists substitutions when a piece of gear is optional.
Three ways: by cuisine (country of origin), by region (the local tradition inside that country), and by ingredient or technique (cross-cuisine guides). Recipes live at /recipes/ and never move.
Vietnamese and Chinese are live now. Thai, Japanese, Korean and Indian are planned — their pages are already defined in the site structure but stay unpublished until each has tested content.
Calculated from ingredient weights using the USDA FoodData Central database, with values shown per serving. Actual figures vary with portion size.
