Data & Tools

Fourteen specialist bibliographies of European culinary print merged into a single bibliographic universe and geocoded to the city level: 17,899 entries for c. 1500–1900 within a larger merged record, 14,507 of them first printed in ten European regions. The 10,292 works of the six core regions with a first edition dated 1500–1899 form the publishing-market panel behind the dissertation.

About 197,000 structured recipes extracted from 443 digitised cookery and household books, drawn as a stratified sample of works printed 1500–1899 in ten European regions and seven languages. Each recipe follows a shared JSON schema: ingredients with historical and modern name variants, methods, utensils, and ingredient-category flags.

Structured entries from Michelin Guides for multiple European countries, c. 1975–2019: restaurant names, locations, and star ratings as a temporal panel. Built for work on the path-dependent geography of haute cuisine.
