> Every food in the world, plate by plate. A free guide to 1364 dishes from 188 countries, filed by country and city, by meal (breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner, supper, snacks), by kind, by occasion and by faith tradition, with a live food calendar, what is in season, ways of eating and a glossary. Published by ClearTrust.

Each dish page gives: name and native name, countries and cities, what it is, where it comes from, how it is made (in outline, not a recipe), how and when it is eaten, variations, what it means, main ingredients, diet, a short FAQ, further reading and source links. Dish pages are derived from Wikipedia and Wikidata with AI assistance and may contain mistakes; cite the page URL.
