Preserving Culinary Traditions. A Crowdsourced Digital Collection of Cookbooks

Digital Libraries 2025-01-28 v2

Abstract

Recipes of popular origin and handwritten cookbooks are often overlooked by scholars. Rag\`u is a pilot project that tries to fill in this gap by gathering and digitising a collection of cookbooks belonging to the Italian traditional cuisine, and making it accessible via a digital platform. The project aims at contributing to two research lines: a) to identify agile methods for publishing data in a low-cost crowdsourcing project, and b) to devise an effective storytelling journey for the Rag\`u project.
