We’re building something different with Zap Cooking. Open protocols. Real ownership. No ads. No selling your data. Just great food and the people who make it. A Zap Cooking membership isn’t just unlocking features. It’s helping build an open social experience for food where recipes, communities, and ideas belong to the people creating them. Membership includes growing features like Sous Chef, Cheffy, advanced meal planning, and everything we’re cooking up next. If you believe food should be open, social should be yours, and communities should own what they build, we’d love to have you with us. Come build the future of food. 🍳⚡ Food. Friends. Freedom.

Zap Cooking - Food is Open Source

A place where food culture can live openly and grow naturally. Share recipes, support creators directly, no algorithms or ads.

Zap Cooking Android 1.3.5 is now live on Zapstore 🍳⚡ The biggest addition is the new My Kitchen meal planner. Plan your week, add ingredients from recipes to a grocery list, and keep your saved recipes, published recipes, and Nourish tools together in one place. This is version one, and we know there is much more to improve. We built it for you as a practical tool to make your culinary experience easier and better. We also listened to your feedback about conversations. Threads now have a new look that makes replies easier to read and navigate. You can clearly see which conversation you are in, who is replying to whom, and move through longer discussions without guessing or clicking around. We also improved Lightning payments, long posts, media, navigation, and the overall Android experience. Update here:

Hi 👋 View quoted note →

Nourish just leveled up on Zap Cooking. 🥦⚡ The foundation was already built. We just added estimated nutrition macros and made sure the infrastructure underneath it was sound. Every analyzed recipe now includes estimated nutrition per serving: 🔥 Calories 💪 Protein 🌾 Carbs 🥑 Fat Nourish uses AI to recognize the ingredients and estimate the nutrition values. From there, the calculation is simple: add everything together and divide by the number of servings. When a recipe is harder to estimate, we label it as a rough estimate instead of pretending the numbers are exact. Guidance, not gospel. We tested Nourish against a large set of recipes with published nutrition before releasing the update. Many of those recipes are now part of the Nourish catalog, so you can explore the results for yourself. The code is open source, the method is transparent, and the data lives on Nostr. Every analysis is published as a signed event to our Pantry relay and broadcast across multiple public relays. No account required. No nutrition data trapped inside a private database. Just portable, verifiable information built on an open protocol. That data also makes discovery easier: 💪 High protein 🔥 Under 600 calories 🌾 Low carb 🫒 No seed oils 🍬 No added sugar Filters can be combined, so you can find meals that are high protein and free from seed oils in just a couple of taps. Thanks to @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻🍁 for the recommendation to add the nutrition layer. The foundation was there. We added the macros and made sure it was built the right way. Try Nourish:

We need the Nostr builders, plebs, and bug hunters to put it through its paces. Break it. Report it. Help us make it better. Download it now on @Zapstore:
