Abstract 

A 33K classification of dishes (in French) is an ambitious project aimed at categorizing the immense diversity of French gastronomy. France’s culinary heritage is deeply rooted in regional traditions, local ingredients, and refined techniques, making it one of the richest cuisines globally. Below is a high-level structure to approach such a detailed classification, breaking it down into broader categories, regional specialties, and ingredient-based subcategories.

  • Appetizers (Entrées)
    • Terrines and pâtés (e.g., pâté en croûte, foie gras)
