Field notes
Recipe DNA models each dish as a set of related family versions rather than a single authoritative recipe. The proposed record combines a photographed card, provenance, origin story, and optional public sharing; versions can fork so readers can compare how a dish changes across households. The homepage says the first participating families will be invited through a waitlist, and presents transcription from handwritten cards as part of the planned contribution flow.
