About Smaack
With Smaack we want to make people more familiar with foreign cuisines and food cultures. The C in Smaack therefore also stands for culture. We believe that different cultures can learn a lot from each other. Not only in terms of taste, but also in terms of eating habits. We want to make it more accessible to try new truly authentic recipes from other countries.
The idea arose when a friend of Dafne asked her if she had a classic roti chicken recipe. "I first tried to look it up on the internet, but found that it was very difficult to find a recipe that was comparable to the roti recipe from
my Surinamese grandmother. "Often ingredients such as pineapple were added, which should absolutely not be in a real roti chicken dish. This also applies to many other foreign recipes. This makes it difficult to discover cuisines from other countries." frustration with Karin, the concept of a cooking website with authentic recipes that have been passed down generations was quickly born. "The recipes on our website come from people who also have actual roots in the country where the recipe comes from. We don't just want the recipe pass it on, but also tell the story of the country behind the recipe.

About the logo
The logo symbolizes our mission to exchange flavors from different countries. The coriander symbolizes the different spices used in foreign cuisines. The tomato stands for the fifth basic taste 'umami' (savory) and can also be found in almost every kitchen. In addition, these are also one of our favorite herbs and vegetables.
