About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Instead of focusing on toppings or garnishes, you’ll train yourself to recognize dishes by the foundation: broth, stock, tomato, cream, coconut milk, beans, grains, and other core bases.

Questions are multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can think through ingredients, regions, and cooking styles without pressure.

Difficulty and how to play

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: familiar staples appear alongside less common regional bowls, keeping the quiz approachable while still offering surprises.

Choose your preferred question count and difficulty before starting to tailor the session—go shorter for a quick warm-up or longer to build consistency.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Mixing up soup vs. stew when the base is similar (broth-based dishes can still be hearty)
Confusing cream-based and puréed vegetable bases (texture can mislead)
Treating tomato-based and paprika/chili-based as the same category
Over-relying on garnish cues (croutons, herbs, sour cream) instead of the liquid base
Forgetting that legumes and grains can be the “base,” not just add-ins

Tips for better accuracy

Look for the primary liquid or thickener first, then confirm with signature ingredients (like coconut milk, lentils, or roux). If two options seem close, pick the one that best matches how the dish is typically built at the start of cooking.
