Another mother/daughter collab! I think I'll be sticking to the food theme names going forward for anything she and I work on together.

Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- German Whispers - neighboring digits on a green German Whisper line differ in value by at least 5.
- Modular Lines - any group of three digits along a teal modular must have a digit from each of the following sets - [1,4,7], [2,5,8] and [3,6,9].
- Renban Lines - digits along a purple Renban line must contain a group of consecutive digits in some order.
- Ratio Kropki dots - digits separated by a black Kropki dot have a value ratio of 2:1. No negative constraint.
- XV sums - digits separated by an X sum to 10; digits separated by a V sum to 5. No negative constraint.

Accessibility note - Renbans are R1C1 to R5C1, R9C1 to R9C5, R1C5 to R1C9, and R5C9 to R9C9. Modular lines are R1C2 to R1C3, R9C6 to R9C8, cells 5, 7 and 9 of box 2, cells 3, 5 and 9 of box 4, cells 1, 5 and 7 of box 6, and cells 1, 3 and 5 of box 8. All other lines are German Whispers, and this includes overlap with the renbans in R5C1, R1C9, R9C1, and R9C5.

Very nice puzzle! Took me 20 mins to get my first digit, but it quickly builds as you go. Time 00:54:20

Took me a while to figure out where to go after the first easy digit, but once I got a little momentum it all fell into place nicely. Great puzzle.
