GOOD NEWS: Zap Cooking Android 1.3.6 is live! ⚡️🍳
We’re learning, adapting faster, and building better with every release.
This update brings recipe editing and deletion, CLINK payments, better comments and profiles, improved reporting, and stronger relay coverage.
Stay humble. Keep building.
Zap Cooking. The Open Food Network.

Open protocols don't matter because they're decentralized.
They matter because ownership matters.
Your recipes.
Your identity.
Your community.
Those should move with you.
That's why we're building on Nostr.
⚡

2026-07-28 21:58:00 UTC

Some recipes become favorites.
Others become community lore.
Pizza Beans somehow became both.
It started as a simple weeknight dinner.
Now it's basically part of Zap Cooking history.
Long live Pizza Beans. 🍕🫘

One thing I've learned building on Nostr...
People don't just want another app.
They want to be part of building something.
Every recipe shared.
Every bug reported.
Every feature request.
It all moves Zap Cooking forward.
Thanks for building with us. ❤️

We already think about revenue every day because sustainability matters. The difference is we’re building the value first instead of focusing on extracting it. We’ve been self-funded for 3 years, shipping every week, memberships are live, and we’re playing the long game. If we build the food layer well, the business will take care of itself.

Sunday Evening
One recipe can take you somewhere you've never been.
Tonight it's Moo Hong, a slow-braised pork belly dish from Phuket, Thailand.
One of my favorite parts about Zap Cooking is discovering food I probably never would've searched for on my own.
The internet should help us explore more of the world.

One of my favorite parts about building on Nostr is that communities form around things that actually matter to people.
For us, that's food.
Not engagement.

Just people sharing recipes they'll actually cook.
Tonight's recommendation comes from the Zap Cooking community:
🌿 Zesty Dill Yogurt Sauce
Simple. Fresh. One of those recipes you'll end up using on way more than you expected.

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 @npub1utx…50e8 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:
https://zap.cooking/nourish/explore
Builders: analyses are published as kind 30078 events with NIP 32 labels and signed by the Zap Cooking service key.
Query:
wss://pantry.zap.cooking
No authentication required. Build something with it. That is the point.
Built open. Built on Nostr. Built the way it should be. 🌿
Food is Open Source, and so are we.

We didn’t build another Nostr client. We built a home for food culture on the open internet.
2026 has been a year of growth.
We took Zap.Cooking from a web client that started as an experiment in recipe curation and transformed it into a food-focused social experience. By embracing Nostr’s interoperability, we’re creating a place where recipes, creators, conversations, and community all come together without creating another closed platform.
Joining the PlebLab Startup Summer has been a catalyst for us. We’re only at the beginning of the program, but it’s already bringing clarity to our vision. It’s helping us think beyond features and focus on how to build Zap.Cooking to scale, create an experience people genuinely love, and introduce freedom technology through something familiar and easy to use. We believe the best way to grow Nostr isn’t by asking people to learn a new protocol. It’s by building products they simply want to use.
That led us to our biggest project yet. Android.
We forked @nprofile…4k44 and built on the incredible foundation created by @nprofile…jejf, who will receive a lifetime Zap.Cooking membership as a show of our appreciation.
From that foundation, we made it our own.
We’ve added thousands of new lines of code, redesigned the entire UI and UX around food culture, and built an experience purpose-built for the kitchen. This isn’t just a reskin. Recipes, creators, discussions, and discovery are first-class citizens while preserving everything that makes Nostr interoperable.
We also reimagined onboarding to make Nostr approachable for chefs, home cooks, creators, and anyone discovering decentralized social for the first time.
Our goal is to have the first beta in your hands by July 4th. We have a few final polish items left, but we’re getting close.
Here’s what you’ll find in the first beta:
🍳 Cheffy. Your AI-powered cooking companion.
👨‍🍳 Sous Chef. AI tools that help you cook, create recipes, and navigate the kitchen.
🌱 Nourish. Helping people build healthier habits through food.
💬 NIP-29 Group Chats. Powered by our custom relay with built-in moderation tools, giving community admins local control over conversations while remaining fully interoperable with the broader Nostr network.
📚 Recipe Catalog. The foundation for recipe packs, cookbook creation, community curation, and infrastructure we’re building to evolve into a dedicated recipe NIP.
The Featured Feed is our only curated experience. Everything else stays true to Nostr. Open, interoperable, and yours.
We’d love your help.
As we prepare for launch, we’re looking for a small group of beta testers who want to help shape the future of food culture on Nostr.
In return, we’ll add you to our Members Team for a 3-month beta window, giving you full access to Cheffy, Sous Chef, Nourish, and our premium features before they’re available to everyone else. You’ll get early access to new features, help shape the product through your feedback, and play a direct role in building the future of Zap.Cooking.
This has never been about building another social app.
It’s about building the home for food culture on the open internet.
We can’t wait to get this into your hands.

Food culture is humanity’s original open source project.

2026-06-16 16:23:18 UTC

People used to say social networking was only for posting pictures of your lunch. Well, we took that one seriously.
Check out the #OnlyFood toggle of the Zap Cooking feed, where you'll find inspired lunch ideas from all over the world.
From burgers to ramen to schnitzel, Nostr loves food, and we are here for it.

Meet Cheffy. Your kitchen partner.
Cheffy understands the assignment. He is helpful, practical, and built specifically for Zap Cooking.
Ask him what to make, tell him what ingredients you have, swap an ingredient, work through a recipe, or get help when you do not feel like turning dinner into a whole project.
He can also take a recipe and convert it into a Zap Cooking recipe post, ready to publish or save in your drafts for later.
He is here to help you cook, not lecture you about it.
Cheffy is live now on Zap Cooking.
Give it a try.

Not for another social network.
For better recipes. Better food. Better conversations.
Share a recipe. Discover something new. Support creators directly with Bitcoin.
No ads chasing you around the internet.
Just food culture.

It could be a url that does not work, not all do, but most do. Can you check with a recipe from all recipes.com?

Zap Cooking is a Nostr original.
We are not funded by OpenSats, Jack Dorsey, HRF, or Tether.
We have received zero grant money.
This has been a self-funded experiment from day one, built by people who believe recipes belong on the open web.
We build features the community asks for. We’ve had dozens of contributors. We lean into our open source ethos.
Zap Cooking is the original “other stuff.”
Membership gives you access to our tools, including Chef ₿, Nourish, and Sous Chef for seamless recipe uploads.
And summer is the perfect time to jump in — backyard meals, family recipes, fresh produce, weekend cookouts, and recipes worth sharing.
For the next 21 days, use code NOSTRSUMMER for 50% off monthly or annual memberships.
This promo is for Lightning payment only.
We believe in Bitcoin and Nostr, and we are putting the incentives in place to help you send your sats.
Don’t HODL. ZAP.
Come support us.

We do have an iOS app in development. We’ve been working through the App Store review process and polishing the experience before launch. Hoping to have a summer release if all goes well.
In the meantime, the web app works great and you can install it directly to your home screen from Safari for a PWA app.

Most platforms monetize your attention.
We’re building something different at Zap Cooking.
Recipes can earn directly.
Creators can build communities.
Users can support posts with sats instantly.
No ads tracking your every move.
No fighting an algorithm for reach.
Just food, community, open protocols, and value flowing between people.
⚡ Recipe boosts
⚡ Lightning payments
⚡ AI cooking tools
⚡ Nostr-native identity
⚡ Open ecosystem interoperability
The future of social apps won’t just be “content feeds.”
They’ll be programmable communities with built-in money and ownership.
Stay hungry. 🍳⚡

Most platforms built an ad model around surveillance.
Track users.
Sell attention.
Harvest data.
Inject algorithms.
Keep creators dependent.
Zap Cooking is different.
We’re building an open marketplace around value-for-value, memberships, sponsorships, boosts, and direct community support on Nostr.
No creepy ad targeting.
No shadow banning.
No selling your data.
No middlemen owning your audience.
Sponsors are transparent.
Boosts are visible.
Payments are native.
Communities are portable.
A restaurant, ranch, coffee roaster, or kitchen brand should be able to support creators directly without turning users into the product.
That’s the model.
Food + community + open protocols.
Stay hungry ⚡🍳

Can’t zap it, which usually means the wallet isn’t setup correctly yet.
Does your wallet show funds or function normally inside the Primal app? It’s possible the wallet just needs synced back to your profile.

That’s a wrap on our Bitcoin Pizza Day giveaway. 🍕⚡
We’ve selected all 10 winners and the sats have been sent.
Huge thanks to everyone who participated. There were so many great entries, memes, pizzas, food takes, and conversations throughout the event.
We genuinely appreciate all of the engagement, renotes, comments, likes, and zaps. This is what makes building on open protocols fun.
Stay hungry. 🍕⚡
