Kefir + Whey
Kefir and whey pair classically — they're cooked together often and share aroma chemistry, so the combination is both familiar and chemically coherent. Both sit inside the "Creamy dairy and egg emulsions" mode.
What do these scores mean?
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.
