Palate

The system of record for your taste

Cook by the light of your own taste.

Drawn live by the engine — not a photo of someone else's dinner.

Map it

Twenty-five questions.
One honest shape.

No star ratings, no essays — twenty-five quick either-ors (three of them are right here) sketch your palate across eighteen flavor dimensions. Three minutes, and it ends up unmistakably yours.

Real scores, live — the same engine that runs the Studio.

The Studio

Two ingredients in.
Dinner finds itself.

The Studio is a canvas, not a form. Drop in whatever the fridge offers and the engine reads the flavor chemistry between them — 260 ingredients, 28,441 learned pairings — then quietly deals direction cards for what belongs next. Follow its lead, or overrule it. It's your dish; Palate just holds the map.

The Record

Cooked it? Then it counts.

That tagine you just watched come together — you cook it, you tap "I made this," and it takes a seat at your table: one quick verdict, one this-or-that, and your ranking reorders around it. No stars, no essays. Months from now you'll know exactly which tagine beat which ragù, because you said so at the stove.

Why Palate exists

Taste is a fingerprint. Yours has a shape.

Palate draws it, keeps the record, and cooks from it — every dish you log sharpens the picture. No two palates land on the same six points.
