Recipe discovery
Learn how Recipyx defines classic, vegetarian and vegan recipe versions, including naturally compatible variants, and how they differ from allergens and dietary restrictions.
Versions describe the recipe style; suitable-for markers describe vegetarian or vegan compatibility. Restrictions describe allergens, intolerances or ingredients to avoid.
Editorial guide
A recipe version tells you which culinary path you are viewing. A suitable-for marker can also place a visible variant in vegetarian or vegan discovery when the ingredients already fit that diet. Neither layer replaces the ingredient list, variant notes or allergen guidance inside each recipe.
The classic version is the base version, or the one closest to the usual preparation for that dish.
It may include meat, fish, seafood, eggs, dairy, gluten or other ingredients depending on the recipe. Some classic variants are naturally vegetarian or vegan, but only when the variant says so.
A vegetarian version contains no meat, chicken, turkey, duck, fish, seafood, crustaceans or molluscs.
It may still contain eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, cream, honey or gluten. It does not mean egg-free, dairy-free, lactose-free or gluten-free. If a recipe uses cheese, strict vegetarians may want to check whether the cheese uses vegetarian-suitable rennet.
A vegan version contains no animal-derived ingredients. It excludes meat, fish, seafood, eggs, dairy, honey, animal gelatin and similar derivatives.
Vegan does not automatically mean gluten-free, soy-free or tree-nut-free. Allergens and avoidances must still be checked by variant.
| Version | What it means | What it does not guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Base or most customary preparation. | No restriction compatibility unless the variant says so. |
| Vegetarian | No meat, poultry, fish, seafood, crustaceans or molluscs. | Not automatically egg-free, dairy-free, lactose-free or gluten-free. |
| Vegan | No animal-derived ingredients. | Not automatically gluten-free, soy-free or tree-nut-free. |
Versions explain the cooking style, while suitable-for markers explain vegetarian or vegan compatibility. Restrictions and allergen pages explain food safety, intolerances and ingredients to avoid. Keep those layers separate when choosing a recipe.
