Table 1 Parameters of the best power law fits for the recipe and ingredient preference distributions

	α	std	$x_{min}$	std
Recipes (all)	1.678	0.224	1.0	0.0
Recipes (best $x_{min}$ )	2.762	0.277	342.3	1428.403
Ingredients (all)	1.523	0.077	1.0	0.0
Ingredients (best $x_{min}$ )	1.883	0.712	720.94	3914.296

The fits are calculated for each region independently in two ways: (i) setting $x_{min} = 1$ and fitting on the whole range of values and (ii) finding the best $x_{min}$ value for the best power law fit. We report the average values over all regions and the corresponding standard deviation.
