About The Dish Lab

The Dish Lab works out what is actually in the food people look up — the restaurant items, the discontinued menu things, the jarred sauces that are out of stock.

Two kinds of page, and every one says which it is

Reconstructions. A home version of something a restaurant or manufacturer sells. It is not their recipe. Where a company publishes an ingredient list or a menu description, we say so and work from it.

Published recipes. Where a recipe already exists in a cookbook or on a company's own site, we say where it came from and point at the source rather than pretending to have cracked a secret.

What we do not do

We do not claim to have cooked things we have not cooked. There is no invented chef here and no invented backstory. We publish no star ratings and no review counts, because we have none.

Where something is an approximation, the page says so.

Corrections

If a page is wrong, tell us and we will fix it or remove it. The contact page has the address.
