Culinary map
57 chefs and gastronomes across the French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Nordic, American and other culinary traditions, placed by birth year (horizontal) and influence (vertical), linked by 58 known lines of teaching and reaction. Companion to the artistic, philosophical, mathematical and MPB maps.
Each point is a chef (x = birth year, y = approximate influence, a prominence proxy). Hover a name to trace its connections — arrows point from a thinker to those they shaped; red dashed lines mark critical reactions, grey lines positive influence. Click a point for Wikipedia, and use the legend to filter traditions.
