That does represent 70% or so of the current world population. It isn't 100% coverage but it is most of the many of the biggest groups.

It is missing the Italian, Japanese, Greek and Mexican cooking - that are incredibly popular worldwide and it is incomplete without them, and nothing from Africa at all or Middle East.

Yes. I mean if you look at the corpus basically HALF of recipes are Chinese/Korean.

They do quickly acknowledge it, but definitely not a balanced set.
