WikiProject Food and Drink is one of the oldest WikiProjects on Wikipedia, beginning its life as the Gastronomy WikiProject in April 2003. Since that time, it has evolved into a comprehensive project covering numerous subjects and concentrations. However, it remains as an association of Wikipedians who share an interest in food and drink related matters who have come together to co-ordinate the development of these articles on Wikipedia.

This WikiProject covers a very broad array of subjects, from national cuisines to various food dishes and beverages. The amount of topics that fall under our umbrella is huge, with over 34,000 articles and counting that are grouped into numerous categories.

Some examples of topics within this project's scope are listed below. Many more additional topics exist.
 * Foods, beverages, dishes and other foodstuffs;
 * Cuisines and national cuisines;
 * Commercial food vendors, manufactures and restaurants;
 * Chefs and food personalities.

Some organized activities include:
 * See the Project buttons page for an overview of project pages.
 * The Assessment department and corresponding Assessment Task Force focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Food and drink related articles.
 * The Welcome squad welcomes new members and invites users to join the project.

The editors and contributors to Wikipedia are the core of this project. Without you, we cannot reach our goal of becoming the premier site on the web for Food and Drink-related information! To that end, we have taken several steps to help you help us meet our goal. The links above provide some ways to contribute.

Cscr-featured.png Featured content
is subjects such as articles, pictures, lists, portals, and topics which are considered to be the best of what Wikipedia has to offer, as determined by Wikipedia's editors. Most of the featured content has been featured on the Wikipedia main page or Wikimedia Commons main page.

A small bronze star icon on the top right corner of a page indicates that the article, image or other item is featured, unless the appropriate user preference is set.

[[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|22px |Good articles |alt=Good articles]] Good articles
are considered to be of good quality, but are not yet as qualified as featured articles. Good articles meet the good article criteria, passing through the good article nomination process successfully. In short, they are written very well, contain factually accurate and verifiable information, are broad in coverage, neutral in point of view, stable, and illustrated, where possible, by relevant images with suitable copyright licenses. Good articles do not have to be as comprehensive as featured articles, but they should not omit any major facets of the topic.

 * Main project page: Food and drink DYK

consists of a series of "hooks", which are interesting facts taken from Wikipedia's newest content, in the format "Did you know that...?" Something that appeared on DYK was identified by an editor as being from new or recently expanded content and proposed an interesting "hook" designed to catch the eye of other readers. DYK is not a general trivia section, but is only for articles that have been either, created, expanded at least five-fold or were newly sourced and expanded at least two-fold at the time they were featured on the main page.
