Looks great! Well done on combining healthy food & going green. Wondering what are you planning for monetising the product: e.g. the app is free at the moment, are you going to start selling it at some point?

@sainnr Thanks Vladimir 🌱 Regarding monetization, we're working on a paid subscription that will offer additional, premium features like nutritional data, unlimited meal planning and so on. We're eager to see what our users would like to see coming to the app first, and right now it seems to be nutritional data. We'd also like in the near future to offer grocery delivery in the U.S. through Instacart/Amazon Fresh, so users can order everything they need to cook the meals they've chosen in the app. In any case, there will always be a free option ✌️

This is awesome! Thanks for making an app that helps us in reducing our carbon footprint. 🙌🏼 Do you recommend local stores around the user or just what’s in seasonally location wise?

@suhyonya Thank you Susie! And congrats on your super successful launch of Otis! At the moment, we don't recommend local stores around the user, but that's on our roadmap. Ideally, we'd like to recommend places/organizations where you can buy fresh produce, maybe even directly from the farmers (like CSAs). I think that could be super helpful, and would definitely align with what the recipes Kuri recommends.

Impatient to get the app with data for northern europe and Android. Meanwhile, I will look at the label on products to know where they come from. that is very simple way to limit carbon footprint. Btw, ?makers, does Kuri limit/mediate its own footprint ?

Hey everyone 👋 and happy World Environment Day 🌎 I’m Baptiste, one of the makers of Kuri, a personalized cooking app on iOS that makes it easy to adopt sustainable eating habits. 🔥 Our eating habits play a major role in climate change: it’s estimated that 27% of greenhouse gas emissions come from the agriculture sector (McKinsey, 2019). With Kuri, we wanted to make it easy to switch to a healthier, more sustainable diet that focuses on seasonal, low-emissions cooking. What makes Kuri unique as a cooking app: 🌱 adapts to what’s in-season around you. The carbon footprint of a tomato grown out-of-season is roughly 7 times bigger than when grown in-season (ADEME, 2018). Kuri is the first app that "localizes" seasonality: what’s shown as in-season will be different whether you’re in California or in London*. 🌎 calculates and displays the carbon footprint of our recipes. Taking into the impact of seasonality as well, Kuri is the first cooking app that calculates the carbon footprint of its recipes, helping you understand and make educated, sustainable eating decisions. ✌️ also adapts to your dietary preferences and lifestyle (diet, allergies, grocery habits and cooking level), so you’ll never see something you can’t/won’t eat. One of our hypothesis was that Kuri could help people cut their dietary carbon footprint in half, if given the right tool, the right meal suggestions, considering what’s in season around them. Results with our early adopters (a majority of flexitarians/carnivores) are very encouraging: 📉 average carbon footprint of the recipes cooked by our users is 57% smaller than the average meal’s footprint 🥦 92% of the recipes cooked by our users were without meat ✅ so despite being used mostly by carnivores, users chose to cook meals with a much smaller carbon footprint, without meat. Kuri is exclusively available on iOS at the moment, and is completely free to use. Soon, Kuri will offer: - personalized, low carbon meal plans w/ optimal nutrition - grocery delivery through Instacart/Amazon Fresh (“shoppable recipes” app) - subscription plan for premium features (nutritional data, etc., coming this summer) - tips on how to reduce food waste, what’s grown locally around you, and more. * Kuri currently covers the seasonality of the following regions: the U.S. (cut into 6 different regions), Canada, the U.K. and France. Australia, New Zealand, and additional European countries are coming to the app in the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts and suggestions on the app ✌️

Just downloaded! I'm always impressed with friends who happen to know what's in season, and I've always never known how to keep tabs on that information. Seems like this does the thinking for me! Excited to make some seasonal recipes.

@mikeyg1014 Thanks Mike! You will see that you will very quickly remember what’s in season, after some time I now pay much, much more attention to seasonality since I started working on Kuri. Hopefully it grows on you too ✌️ Pro tip: use the Filters “Highly recommended” + “Seasonal” to find our all time favorites that are in season in your region right now 🌱

Congrats on the launch, Baptiste! We use Kuri from time to time if we run out of ideas on what to cook :-) I like that there's a wide range of recipes, so mostly I find something that I have the ingredients for already in my fridge. Also, it's nice that you recommend recipes with ingredients that are in season, which otherwise I'm too lazy to check.

@canolcer Thanks Can @canolcer! Dorena and you have been very supportive of the project already since the Beta, and I'm always super glad to have more vegan users 🌱

I made the mistake of installing this at lunchtime and now I'm starving! The recipes look amazing. One thought - we get a box delivery of seasonal veg where we don't know the contents until it arrives, so it would be great to put in what's in the box and get recipe suggestions.

@chrispointon hahaha thanks Chris! 😅 Thanks for the feedback! The "filter" feature should allow you to find recipes by ingredient. The seasonal ones have a different design, so that's something that might help you using these seasonal veg! There's a lot of room for improvement on this though. I'll keep your feedback in mind when improving the "find recipes with what's in your fridge" feature ✌️

@bptstmlgt thanks, I hadn't noticed the ingredients in the filter. That's good to know and I'll take it for a spin.
