Classification
Ten kinds of tag. Each describes a recipe from one angle only, and a recipe carries as many as it needs. The tags travel with the dish, not with any single revision of it.
Types of tag
ten · one not yet populatedCuisine
eleven tagsWhere a dish comes from. One only, and it never changes once set.
Course
five tagsWhere the dish sits in a meal — what you would put it next to on the table.
Technique
fifteen tagsWhat the cook actually does to the food, named by the action rather than the outcome.
Diet
two tagsWho can eat it as written, without substituting anything out.
Season
one tagWhen the ingredients are at their best, or when the weather makes the method work.
Equipment
eight tagsWhat you must already own before the first step makes sense.
Occasion
two tagsWhy you would make it — the reason that gets it onto the stove at all.
Preservation
three tagsHow the keeping time is extended beyond what the raw ingredient allows.
Texture
three tagsHow it feels to eat, once it is finished and served.
Ingredient class
no tagsWhat an ingredient is in kind, so that like can be swapped for like.
