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:

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.

The Zap Cooking Android Beta is live.
From day one, Zap Cooking has been built as a Nostr-native app with one goal: make freedom tech useful through food.
Discover recipes, share what you’re cooking, earn Bitcoin, and support creators directly with zaps.
This is a beta, so expect a few rough edges. 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 @npub10r8…t2p8:
https://zapstore.dev/apps/cooking.zap.app
Fire it up, post what you’re cooking this Fourth of July, tag @npub1xxd…kt7a in the app, and you might get a fat zap. ⚡🌭🍔
Thank you to everyone who has helped us build this over the last three years. This is only the beginning.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Curate your favorite recipes, bundle them together, and share them with your friends, your family, or anyone on Nostr.
We’re building this out in the open and figuring it out as we go. But we believe this is the way. Build the tools and let the creators create.
Recipe Packs are simple. Save what you love, organize it your way, and share it forward.
We built Recipe Packs right into the feed, made them fully shareable, and gave users more control over how they manage their social experience.
Because it’s Nostr, we built zaps right into it ⚡
You can zap a Recipe Pack and support the curator directly. Support the signal. Value for value.

More to come.

Appreciate the feedback, will see what we can do to support.

We need your recipes.
Zap Cooking runs on Nostr under the hood… but your grandma doesn’t know that, and she shouldn’t have to.
Today we’re opening things up.
Our premium recipe import feature is now available for everyone. Drop in a URL and instantly format your favorite recipes for Zap Cooking. Clean, simple, ready to cook.
While you’re here, take a look around.
This is more than a recipe site.
It’s a cooking community. 🍳

We have this feature for importing, originally for members, but we’re opening it up to everyone for free to import via recipe link. It’s currently live and will be following up with a post today to roll out.

Cooking just got easier on Zap Cooking 👨🏻‍🍳
We just rolled out a couple of simple but powerful upgrades, built by @npub1aeh…4nwx :
✔️ Checkboxes + strikethrough for ingredients and directions
Follow along step by step and keep your place while cooking
🔢 Ingredient scaler
½, 1x, 2x, or 3x your recipe instantly depending on what you need
These are small touches, but they matter when you’re actually in the kitchen making something real.
Just another step forward as we keep building Zap Cooking into its own unique space here on Nostr ⚡🍳

Did you know Zap Cooking was one of the first Nostr clients to implement the Breez SDK wallet?
That same wallet stack powers apps like Primal, Wisp, Blitz, and Wallet of Satoshi.
On Zap Cooking, you can seamlessly import your existing wallet and get started instantly. Once you're in, you can take it a step further with built-in redundancy by backing up your wallet to Nostr relays.
One click backup. One click restore.
Simple, secure, and built for the future.
This is just one of many features that puts Zap Cooking in a league of its own. 🍳⚡️

What other clients are doing this?

Never been easier to get your recipes onto Zap Cooking.
Just copy + paste your recipe…
and let Sous Chef do the rest.
It slices it up, formats it clean, and gets it ready to publish in seconds. No friction. No cleanup. Just share what you love cooking.
Another perk for members 👨‍🍳⚡
We’re building tools that make it simple to contribute, discover, and actually use recipes on a daily basis.
Come check us out. 🍳⚡️

There are a lot of places to scroll.
Not many places to belong.
Zap Cooking is where food, people, and ideas come together. Recipes, polls, conversations, and a little signal in a noisy world.
We’re building this in the open, one step at a time.
Come cook with us. 🍳⚡️
Food. Friends. Freedom.

Halfway through, we are split! 👀 🍳

Unsalted sunflower seeds 🌻
7/10 #nourish
A solid real food snack. Simple ingredients, healthy fats, and a good crunch.
Nourish is a members-only feature on Zap Cooking that gives you quick, honest insight into your food.

Palm Sunday 🌿
A time to reflect, prepare, and look ahead to Easter dinner.
Holy Week is a pause before a new season.
Slowing down. Gathering. Getting ready. ✨
We’re thinking about the meals that bring people together. 🍽️

Our friends at Bread & Toast are building something fun and original. 🥖🔥
Whimsical characters, comics, and stories from Bread, Toast, and End-Piece… all from one loaf, each with their own path. They publish their work on Nostr first, which makes them feel right at home in this corner of the open web.
Go check them out at Bread & Toast: https://breadandtoast.com
Give them a follow.👇

Good food. Good art. Good people.
Stay hungry 🍳

Our friends at @npub16nd…r9qr are helping keep the network secure in a way that actually matters.
Bitcoin is irreversible. Once you hit send, it’s gone. That’s where Branta comes in.
They provide real-time payment verification so you can confirm that the address you’re sending to is exactly where it should be—protecting against phishing, address swaps, and man-in-the-middle attacks.
On Zap Cooking, this shows up as a simple, clean UI moment before you send. No friction, just clarity.
For those moving sats every day, this is one of those features you don’t notice… until it saves you.
Built together with Branta 🤝
Adding a trust layer to the zap code.
Stay hungry.

Polls are live on Zap Cooking ⚡️
We’ve been building out a new way to interact around nostr:
⚡ Zap Polls — vote with sats
🖼️ Image Polls — visual “this vs that” decisions
🧠 Poll Feed — a live stream of what people are thinking
Jump into the feed: https://zap.cooking/polls
Create them. Share them. See results instantly.
Stay Hungry. Keep Building.
