Provenance

Provenance is a culinary reference platform built around the origins of ingredients, the lineage of cooking techniques, and the traditions behind beverages. Its recipe library features 4,680 dishes, with ingredients traced to named producers and methods explained step by step. Recipes include practical details such as quantities, cooking temperatures, regional context, and recorded substitutions. Beverage pairings cover wine, beer, spirits, and tea, explaining why each works with a dish. The platform also offers a library of more than 11,000 techniques, organized by cuisine, plus a pantry benchmark for ingredients and a network of suppliers, prioritizing those nearby.

Home cooks can use MyKitchen to photograph a recipe, import a PDF, paste a link or text, or write their own, then explore the culinary knowledge behind each step. For professional kitchens, Provenance provides recipe costing, HACCP food-safety briefs, and allergen maps across menus. Reading is free, while memberships from $49 a year unlock deeper resources. The service is designed for both home cooks and culinary professionals seeking detailed, consistent guidance.
