About TasteBud: Chinese Home Cooking
A cookbook of the Chinese home dishes worth knowing by heart. THE COOKBOOK • Sichuan, Cantonese, Hunan, Shanghainese, Northern and Taiwanese, plus the everyday dishes in between. • Mapo Tofu. Tomato Egg Stir-Fry. Steamed Egg Custard. Beef Chow Fun. Sichuan Boiled Pork. Century Egg and Pork Congee. More added regularly. • Real technique in every step: velveting, wok hei, when the wine goes in, how hard the water under the custard may boil. FIND TONIGHT'S DINNER • Filter by cuisine, time and mood. • Save the dishes you're cooking this week — they become your shopping list. • Plan a meal from a sentence: "something light after a big lunch". MAKE IT YOURS • Scan the food photos already on your phone and the feed tunes itself to what your table actually eats. • A food-recognition model runs on your device. Non-food photos never leave it. Food photos are described, then deleted. • Skip the scan and the whole cookbook is still yours. PRIVACY • No account. No tracking. • We don't store your pictures, and photo locations are never uploaded. For people who grew up on this food, or want to, and would rather cook it well than scroll for a recipe they can't trust. Dinner's ready.
