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:

The person who shared this calls it their favorite way to cook lamb. That’s the kind of recommendation we like. Slow, savory, comforting, and easier than it looks. Lamb with Chickpeas

Lamb with Chickpeas

One of my favorite ways to cook lamb, easy but delicious!

What’s the simplest meal you make that is still ridiculously good? Not your impressive recipe. The one with five ingredients or less that you could make almost without thinking. Those are often the recipes worth knowing.

Before buying groceries this weekend, spend five minutes with your refrigerator. Find: 1 thing that needs used. 1 thing that could be frozen. 1 meal you can make from what you already have. Sometimes the easiest way to spend less at the grocery store is to start at home.

We simplify your cooking experience. Not by removing what makes cooking interesting. By removing more of what gets in the way. Less searching. Less organizing. Less wondering what you forgot. More time actually making food.

A community starts getting interesting when people stop acting like an audience. Don’t just save the recipe. Cook it. Change something. Tell us what happened. Share the mistake. Help the next person. Food gets better when knowledge moves with it.

Our code is open source. You can inspect it. Learn from it. Challenge it. Copy it. What you can’t copy is the reputation built over years, the way we treat people, the effort we put into the work, or the values behind it. Code is available. Authenticity has to be earned.
