We would like to measure how this site is used, so we can work out which questions people actually need answered. That uses Google Analytics, with advertising features switched off and your searches never sent. Nothing loads unless you agree, and everything on the site works exactly the same either way. What we would collect
The pairing pages answer one ingredient at a time. This answers the question a cook with several things in front of them actually asks: given lamb, yoghurt and cumin, what else is recorded as going with all three? Only recorded pairings count, and each result shows how strong every link is and what it rests on — documented cuisine, tradition, convention or food science.
What goes with it
Add an ingredient to begin.
How matches are ranked
By the weakest link, because a combination is only as good as its worst pair.
A partner recorded as a classic pairing with two of your ingredients and a situational one with the third ranks below a partner that is a good match with all three. Pairings recorded as not recommended are never offered as matches; if two of your own choices are recorded that way, the finder says so. Nothing here is inferred from shared aroma compounds — two ingredients that share a molecule are not thereby a pairing, and the reasons each pairing works are on the pairing pages.
