(NASDAQ:DLPN), Dolphin Digital Studios, announced today it will enter into a new category of NFTs: Culinary.

Each partner chef in this and future Recipe Card NFT programs will create exclusive, seasonally inspired recipes that will come to life with visually stunning digital 3D art pieces that will be exclusive to the consumers who buy the NFTs.
For the Recipe NFTs project, Dolphin Entertainment tapped its subsidiary, The Door | idea house, one of the top lifestyle, culinary and hospitality public relations and marketing agencies in the country.

"We couldn't be more excited to have the culinary industry, for which we have great respect, represent our next significant vertical with NFTs, as it is a major ingredient of the Dolphin Entertainment family," said Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin Entertainment. "Creating a Recipe Card NFT program is a natural extension of our NFT slate from Dolphin Digital Studios as we've always viewed epicurean contributions as bonafide works of art."
Each Recipe Card NFT drop from one of world's most acclaimed chefs and food personalities will include a 1-of-1 animated recipe card connected to "In Real Life" (IRLs) elements that are only unlockable only by the owner. These potential experiences may include; live video cook along opportunities with the chef, signed merchandise and cookbooks, future collaboration on additional recipes; and, exclusive restaurant reservations and at home meal experiences via WeFeast.
