About Mike Benayoun & Vera Abitbol

Recipe site founded by Mike Benayoun and Vera Abitbol, documenting a dish from every country

196 flavors is a cooking site founded in 2013 by Mike Benayoun and Vera Abitbol, built around a single aim: to document a traditional recipe from every country in the world. Each recipe is published with a history of the dish and its place in the cooking of the country it comes from.

The recipes are traditional versions rather than adaptations, from Bolivian sopa de maní to Burmese lahpet thoke and Lithuanian cepelinai, and the site is one of the few English-language sources for the cooking of countries that rarely appear in Western food media. Methods are exact and ingredient lists are not shortened for convenience, with substitutions offered where an ingredient is hard to find.

Ten recipes on Mello, imported from 196flavors.com, mostly Bolivian and Gulf (Emirati).
