About

I started Cardoon because I wanted to make real Sardinian minestrone, real Pad Thai, and real Indonesian Nasi Goreng.

Many of the recipes I found online had the same problems.

• Ads everywhere
• A life story before the steps
• Written by people with no cultural ties to the dish
• Stock photos or AI images

So I built the experience I wanted. Cardoon’s mission is to build the world's cookbook.

With Cardoon:

• Quick and easy dinners
• Authentic international recipes by local food creators
• Recipes from 10+ cuisines, with more added all the time
• 100s of real Mediterranean dishes

Every recipe is developed and photographed by a local chef or food creator.

Cook something new tonight.
