One can easily imagine a circumstance under which someone would want ethnic food of some kind but not be able to rationalize making a whole feast for just themselves. Perhaps an immigrant from another countries misses the taste of home, or perhaps by travel or experimentation someone has discovered a love for food more exotic than the local Chinese take-out restaurant. By connecting this person with others who share their passion, they can both indulge their exotic tastes and share the experience with other like-minded people.

"People pick dishes they want based on ingredients they like."

• cooking classes aren't that great for meeting people because you are mainly listening to the instructor
• cleaning up is the worst part, it would be great if someone could do that for me
