we are a small team of night owls — dreamers, thinkers, and storytellers — living in a chaotic world and finding comfort in food, numbers, and the quiet moments between. this website was created to share intriguing tales about food, culture, and the hidden beauty of mathematics.
this blog is written by people who are not a native English speaker, but we wish to deepen our connection to the English language and to the world through stories about international cuisine. by day, we navigate the ordinary. by night, we explore the extraordinary — through recipes, histories, and the fascinating intersections between mathematics and culture.
our stories follow Alex, a curious traveler guided by an imaginary owl, who leads us across continents and centuries. together, they uncover not only delicious dishes but also the mathematical minds and hidden patterns behind them — from the geometry of dumplings to the equations that shaped ancient kitchens.
each tale is a journey: part international recipe, part reflection, part tribute to human curiosity, especially to the wonderful world of Math; that is the reason of our website name: special numbers.
we hope our stories bring warmth to your kitchen, feed your curiosity, and maybe even inspire you to see food — and numbers — in a whole new light.
wishing you wonder, international flavor, and discovery.
thank you for visiting our nest.
the two owls decided to make a simple, peaceful nest in the noisy forest of the internet — a place where stories can breathe and visitors can rest their eyes. No flashing lights, no endless clicks — just clarity, curiosity, and comfort.
