DANJOU is a visualization tool for the ingredients in every recipe on epicurious.com. Use the search bars on the upper left to filter recipes by name or ingredient. Danjou is designed to illustrate not only the elements a single recipe but the commonalities between similar recipes, suggesting potential substitutiions, additions and variations, rather than rote adherence to a formula.

DANJOU is a "syntax engine." Unlike a search engine, which, in its linear recitation of facts, privileges declarative knowledge ("knowing that"), a syntax engine is intended as an aid to procedural knowledge, or "knowing how": to complex activities which depend on creativity, improvisation, loose rules of thumb, and internalized grammar (like cooking).

DANJOU was created by Zachary White.
