Kooking turns recipe discovery into a swipe experience. Every card shows an AI match score tailored to your taste — swipe right to save or left to skip. Browse dishes by cuisine, meal type, and cook time, all curated from a real community of home cooks. Import recipes from anywhere on the web, follow cooks with similar taste profiles, and let the feed get smarter the more you use it. Early adopters are actively shaping the app from day one.
This is the 2nd launch from Kooking. View more

Launching today
Forget endless scrolling. Kooking is built around the swipe.
Every recipe you discover gets an AI Score — calculated for YOUR taste, pantry, and cooking style — before you even open it. Swipe right on what looks good. The AI learns. Your scores get smarter.
Every recipe comes from a real home cook's kitchen, not a brand or algorithm. No noise. Just swipe, score, and cook.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Deepak here, maker of Kooking.
One of the core design decisions we made early on was the swipe-to-discover feed — and I want to share why we went this way and how it actually works under the hood.
🤔 The problem with recipe discovery today
Every recipe app I tried had the same broken loop: you search, you scroll, you bookmark 200 things, and you never cook any of them. The problem isn't a lack of recipes — it's that none of them feel personally relevant in the moment.
Searching requires intent. But most nights, you don’t have a dish in mind — you just want something to catch your eye.
🃏 Why swipe?
Swiping maps perfectly to how people actually decide what to cook. It’s visual, low-friction, and mood-driven. Right means "save this," left means "not tonight." No search bar, no filters, no rabbit holes.
But the real power is what happens behind each swipe. Every interaction — save, skip, cook, import — feeds a live taste profile that makes the next card more relevant than the last.
✨ How the AI match score works
Each recipe card shows a personal match score (0–100). It’s not a global popularity rank — it’s built entirely around you. Here’s what drives it:
Taste profile — cuisines, ingredients, and cooking styles you consistently save or cook
Cooking behaviour — quick weeknight meals vs. weekend projects, minimal prep vs. complex techniques
Meal plan context — if you’ve already got chicken twice this week, the feed surfaces variety automatically
Time & season signals — a slow braise scores higher on a Sunday afternoon than a Tuesday at 6pm
Creator affinity — recipes from creators you consistently engage with get a natural boost
The score is intentionally visible on every card. We want it to feel transparent — not like a black-box algorithm deciding what you eat, but a smart suggestion you can trust or override.
The more you swipe, the sharper it gets. Early users have told us it starts feeling "weirdly accurate" after just a couple of sessions.
