# Chinese Food at Home

> English MVP for helping people in Europe and North America cook Chinese food at home with realistic local shopping options and pantry substitutions.

The site is English-only in the first MVP. Planned languages are Chinese, Spanish, French, and German. The content focuses on home cooking, not restaurant criticism or medical nutrition advice.

Core editorial rule: recipes should be achievable with ingredients and seasonings available in Europe and North America, with substitutions for Chinese pantry items when useful.
AI transparency rule: recipe images are AI-generated project assets unless a page says otherwise; recipe text may be AI-assisted and editorially reviewed.
