Cooks-with (technical name: Cooc) measures how often the two ingredients appear in the same dish across 4M recipes. Tastes-like (Chem) measures how much aroma chemistry they share via FlavorDB. Blended (Core) combines both. All are cosine similarities in 300-D space — practical ranges differ per axis, so see the per-row context to read them.
