History
Institutional, primary and specialist sources are preferred. Documented evidence, scholarly consensus, disputed interpretation and folklore are labelled separately.
Evidence where it matters.
Honesty where it is incomplete.
Our method separates historical research, culinary reasoning, image review and physical kitchen testing instead of treating them as the same claim.
Recipe identity
Authentic Italian labels require the defining regional ingredients and method. South African adaptations and modern dishes are named openly.
Recipe review
Recipes are checked for coherent quantities, timing, method, sourcing, safety language and image accuracy. This editorial review is not presented as physical kitchen testing.
Kitchen-testing status
The current library has been researched and editorially reviewed, but not every recipe has been physically cooked through a documented test protocol. We therefore avoid claims that every recipe is tested or perfected.
