Tomorrow, make one meal from something you already have before buying more food. If you do it, post it. Nothing fancy required. We want to see what people turn into dinner.

What usually happens to food you intended to cook but didn’t? Plans changed? Forgot it was there? Bought too much? Didn’t know what to make with it? Someone in the house didn’t want it? We’re curious because “food waste” may actually be several different problems hiding under one label.

No stove. A high-speed blender does the work for the warm coconut curry broth. Kelp noodles, vegetables, curry, coconut. Different technique. Very little friction. Curry Ramen with Kelp Noodles

Let’s try something. Reply with three ingredients you already have in your kitchen. No shopping. No perfect pantry. Just three things you need to use. We’ll turn some of the replies into dinner ideas.

I’m trying something new. ⚡️ Tonight at 7 PM, I’m premiering the first episode of Connection, a new weekly podcast presented by Zap Cooking. A big part of why this exists comes from my experience on Nostr. This community taught me how to build, experiment, challenge assumptions, share ideas openly, and just put things out into the world. Now I want to bring some of that same creative spirit to Connection. Food. People. Ideas. Building. Gratitude. I want to talk with builders, creators, cooks, founders, thinkers, tinkerers, and people with interesting stories. You don’t need a huge following. You just need something worth talking about. And I’m going to need this community’s help. I’m looking for guests for a weekly show. If you’re building something interesting, have a story to tell, or know someone I should talk to, tag them below or reach out. Episode 1 starts with a simple idea: I don’t think we’re doomed. I think we should build something better. Premiering tonight at 7 PM 👇 Watch Connection Episode 1 on YouTube⁠:

New iPhone Duo version in the works!

iPhone cooks, we’re getting close. 👀 Still plenty to clean up, but you’re gonna love where this is going. ⚡️🍳 Zap Cooking for iOS. Coming soon.

One of our favorite things about Nostr is opening the feed and seeing food from completely different parts of the world. So, wherever you are: What are you eating today? Photo, recipe, breakfast, lunch, dinner — doesn’t matter. Show us your corner of the food world. 🌎🍳

You don’t need to be a chef to have something worth sharing about food. Maybe it’s a family recipe. A shortcut that works. Something you made for the first time. Or just dinner on a Monday. We want Zap Cooking to feel like a place where showing up is enough. Food. Friends. Freedom.

Simplification isn’t removing capability. It’s hiding complexity until you actually need it. Powerful tools underneath. A clean experience on top. That’s how we’re approaching cooking tools, AI, Bitcoin, and the rest of Zap Cooking. We simplify your cooking experience.

Spreading the word. ⚡️🍳 We got to demo Zap Cooking at Startup Day Guadalajara with @PlebLab ⚡️🇲🇽 Food. Community. Nostr. Bitcoin. We showed how Zap Cooking brings recipes, social discovery, and peer-to-peer Bitcoin support into one experience. The goal is simple: make cooking more useful, more social, and more connected, while giving creators a better way to earn directly from the people who value what they make. Still building. Still sharing. Still growing the network. Full demo:

Is the potato the most versatile food on earth? Boiled. Baked. Fried. Mashed. Roasted. Chipped. Hashed. Across cultures, cuisines, and generations, we keep finding new ways to turn a simple potato into something completely different. Few ingredients can become so many things. 🥔 The humble potato might be one of food’s greatest inventions.

Should we make it? View quoted note →
