The problem

Great home cooks are often hidden in plain sight.

Talented home cooks are everywhere, but there's no dedicated place for them to build a local reputation around what they cook. Their food may reach friends, family or social media followers while people living just a few streets away never discover them.

ChefxDoor gives home cooking a place to be discovered locally.

For home cooks

Share your cooking. Build your local reputation.

Share your meals, baking, techniques and everyday cooking moments. See what gets people's attention, grow a local following, and become known for what you make best.

You do not need to be a chef or sell food to join. Every member begins as part of the community.
