While there are loads of ways in which people can access recipes, from YouTube videos to a variety of mobile recipe apps, there's nothing that can quite match the personality, charisma and personal meaning of a recipe dictated by a family member, which is precisely what the 'Dishtory' recipe app aims to capture.
As its name may suggest, the 'Dishtory' recipe app aims to use the power of storytelling in combination with the nostalgic and emotional appeal of family memories by allowing people to go about recording narrations of recipes provided by their family members. For example, users can go about getting their grandmother to narrate recipes, allowing them to be easily shared and passed on from generation to generation.
By allowing for accurate representation of recipes as well as the capturing of family member's personalities and quirks, the 'Dishtory' recipe app proves that the practice of sharing recipes is about more than simply passing on cooking techniques and taste preferences.
