Kooking launches April 30 — here's what we've been building (and why)
Hey PH community 👋 Kooking hits the App Store on April 30th and I wanted to share a behind-the-scenes look at what we've been building and the thinking behind it. The core idea: most recipe apps are graveyards. You save hundreds of recipes and cook maybe 5. We built Kooking's AI match score to fix that — it ranks recipes by how likely you are to actually make them, based on your skill level,...
Kooking launches April 30 — AI match scores for recipes based on how YOU actually cook 🍳
Hey PH! I'm Deepak, founder of Kooking — a recipe & meal planning app that's launching here on April 30th. The core idea: stop drowning in saved recipes you'll never make. Kooking gives every dish an AI match score tailored to your taste profile, pantry habits, and cooking skill — so the recipes you see are actually ones you'd cook tonight. Beyond the AI layer, it's a real community feed of...
How many recipes do you have saved that you've never actually cooked?
We built Kooking because our own recipe folders were a graveyard. 200+ saves. Maybe 5 actually made. The problem isn't saving — it's that apps never helped you figure out which ones you'd actually make today. That's what the AI match score in Kooking solves. Curious how bad everyone else's recipe graveyard is 👇 and what made you finally cook (or skip) something you saved?
What's the #1 thing that frustrates you about recipe apps?
We built Kooking because we were tired of saving recipes we'd never actually cook. The AI ranking engine in Kooking learns how you cook — your skill level, pantry, and time — and surfaces recipes you'll genuinely make. Curious: what's your biggest pain point with apps like Paprika or AllRecipes today?
