Tradition

This dimension links a cuisine to the cultural tradition it carries forward. Wikipedia notes that in 2010 "French gastronomy was added by the UNESCO to its lists of the world's intangible cultural heritage," an honor recognizing cuisine as more than a set of recipes. Browsing by expressed tradition groups cuisines that carry the same living cultural practice.
