A global platform for documenting, sharing, and celebrating culinary knowledge.
WRID is more than just a recipe database — it provides a digital identity system for chefs, food creators, and cultural storytellers. Our mission is to document, showcase, and celebrate recipes from around the world, giving each one a unique WRID code for tracking, attribution, and community recognition, while highlighting authenticity, traceability, and creativity.
What is the World Recipe ID Bank
A Passport for Every Recipe
The World Recipe ID (WRID) Bank is a decentralized, NFT-ready repository designed to archive, authenticate, and assign unique digital identifiers (WRIDs) to food recipes worldwide.
By combining technology, tradition, and taste metrics, WRID builds a living library of culinary excellence accessible to chefs, researchers, educators, and innovators.
Our Mission
This program invites culinary enthusiasts and professionals from around the world to join the WRID community, digitally register their recipes, share knowledge, and progress step by step in their culinary journey.
Our Vision
Our goal is to create a reliable platform for documenting and sharing recipes, providing a structured system for recording both traditional and modern culinary creations.
By assigning unique WRID codes, we enable recipes to have a digital identity within the WRID platform, with features for tracking, attribution, and community reference.
This system ensures that every recipe — from heritage dishes to contemporary culinary innovations — is digitally documented, organized, and preserved for long-term reference within the WRID community.
Your interactive gateway to explore authentic recipes, iconic dishes, and culinary traditions from around the world.
