Zap Cooking envisions a world where food brings people together again, powered by thoughtful technology and human centered AI, built on open protocols, and grounded in privacy by default. We exist to serve our users, not extract from them. You are the customer, not the product.

We’re introducing a new way to experience Zap Cooking. The Garden is a pyramid-style community relay with an organic approach to growth. It’s our move toward a community first model where we can shape conversations, experiment with relay-based community channels, and build new features alongside the people using them. Instead of one giant feed, smaller communities form naturally, with moderation and culture built into the experience. Food is still at the heart of it. Recipes, meal planning, sharing what you’re cooking, learning from others. Food lovers, hungry people, recipe sharers, meal planners, we got you. The Garden is invite-only to start. If you want to help shape the conversation and where Zap Cooking goes next, check us out at

New from Zap Cooking: Grocery Lists We just shipped grocery lists in Zap Cooking. You can now create lists directly in the app, or generate one automatically from a recipe’s ingredients. If you cook during the week, this is one of those features that just makes life easier. Under the hood, we’re using NIP-44 + NIP-78 to read and sync lists from relays. That means your lists work across devices, stay simple, and fit into the open web we’re building on Nostr. This is also a foundation feature. Grocery lists open the door to meal planning, ingredient bookmarking, shared lists, and premium recipe bundles down the road. And yes, Zap Cooking is the official app of Pizza Beans 🍕🫘 We’ll keep building. Stay Hungry.

New from Zap Cooking 🍳 You can now save your recipes for offline use. We’ve also made performance improvements and cleaned up the community feed. Keep building. Stay hungry.

Happy New Year from Zap Cooking! 🍳 We’re excited to kick off the new year with the release of Zap Cooking 3.0 🎉 This is a major update, and it brings one of our most requested features: a powerful embedded multi-wallet experience, making it easier than ever to support your favorite creators. The new wallet supports all NWC wallets, including Alby, Rizful, Primal, Yakihonne, Club Orange, and more. We’re also proud to be the first Nostr client (that we know of!) to ship a Breez SDK Spark-based Lightning wallet. Huge thanks to @The Daniel 🖖 (creator of PlebsVsZombies and Mutable, and the mind behind our logo) for the incredible work on the wallet. And there’s more 👀 The first version of the Zap Cooking Android app, built by @Seth , is now live on the Google Play Store! Zap Cooking is Nostr’s original recipe-sharing app, built by freedom lovers for food lovers, and food lovers for freedom lovers. We’re creating a place where food culture can live and thrive naturally. We build in the open, listen closely to the community, and welcome contributions along the way. What are your favorite holiday recipes? Or the dish you cook year-round? Share them on Zap Cooking and let’s get cooking together 🍳⚡️ Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and delicious New Year 🎆
