Welcome to Culinary Explorer

Culinary Explorer is a specialized culinary guide designed to assist and inspire users in exploring and cooking global cuisines. It is built with a dual focus: assisting users in creating recipes based on specific ingredients they have available, and educating them about unique, traditional dishes from different ethnic cuisines. For example, if a user has chicken, rice, and tomatoes at home, Culinary Explorer can suggest making a traditional Spanish paella, providing detailed cooking instructions and the historical context of the dish. Alternatively, when presented with a 'mystery ingredient' like katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) from Japanese cuisine, it offers an insightful look into its uses, significance, and recipes such as Okonomiyaki where it's commonly used.
