Shared cooking gatherings
Invite the people you miss. Pick a dish with a story. Cook together over video while the conversation captures the recipe, personal tips, and memories.
Staying close rarely needs a special occasion. It needs an hour, and something ordinary to do together.
The host picks one hour that works across everyone’s time zones. The recipe and a shopping list go out ahead, so each kitchen is ready when the call opens.
Invite family or friends, wherever they live. Guests join free from a link.
A grandmother’s galette, a dish from home, the cake from every birthday.
Each in your own kitchen, on one video call. Trade tips, family history, and the occasional recipe.
With everyone’s agreement, the conversation is transcribed as you cook. It picks up the method, with quantities and timings when someone mentions them, along with personal tips, family stories, and the small details people rarely write down.
Nobody has to stop and take notes. Keep stirring, keep talking.

Your kitchen, the ingredients, and a phone, tablet or laptop with a camera. It runs in your web browser, so there's nothing to download.
Everyone is asked to agree before the call is recorded. The recording and transcript are used to make your memory book, which only the host and guests of that gathering can see.

MethodDaniel: So 35 minutes at 200, until the edges go deep gold?
StoryAna: She made it every Sunday with whatever fruit was left.
Lurdes baked this every Sunday in Braga with whatever fruit was left. Ana learned it standing on a chair beside her, and tonight taught it to two other kitchens.
Ana · Butter straight from the fridge. Avó never let it soften.
Daniel · A spoon of semolina under the fruit stops a soggy base.
The recipe, photos from each kitchen, the stories that were told, and every tip with the name of the person who gave it.
A call ends when you hang up. A gathering leaves you with a recipe your family can cook again.
Each gathering adds a page. We are exploring ways to turn a collection into a printed book.
