Hey everyone, we’re Nick & Nick! For years, we’ve been the guys spamming group chats with pics of our latest home cooking experiments. Burnt edges, perfect sauces, glorious disasters, and the rare meal that feels straight out of a Michelin kitchen. But we kept asking ourselves: why don’t we have a real home for this hobby? Bookworms have Goodreads Runners have Strava Chess nerds have chess .com Cooks? We’ve got… blurry iMessage threads and disappearing Instagram stories?? So we built Linecook, it’s Strava for home cooking. A place to • Track your cooking memories and milestones • Save every recipe you’ve nailed, bombed, or want to try one day • Celebrate every meal you make with your own two hands We’re officially coming out of stealth today. Linecook is now in open beta on TestFlight, and we’re looking for passionate home cooks to join our community and help shape it. If you love cooking, we want you in! Join the beta at linecook.com And follow along as we build your new favorite social app!

Asado is the Argentine culinary ritual of slow-cooking beef and other meats over charcoal. The Asador is the grill master who manages the fire and calls the shots. This past week Donato S. (the cook behind this meal) was the absolute Asador of the Linecook Timeline. 🔥Terrific Meal from the Last Week 🔥

Perfect fried eggs...without teflon? 🍳 It's all about temperature: Hot pan. Cold Butter. Room-temp eggs. Get the pan hot, drop in cold butter, listen for a sizzle, then slide in room-temp eggs. They'll set before they can grab the pan. This works on Stainless steel, Cast Iron, and Carbon Steel. Get the temp right and you don't need non-stick.

If i send you this, you know what’s for dinner

Wish you were cooking more? This week we built and shipped a Cooking Streaks feature. Lots of apps have streaks, so we wanted to make sure ours actually incentivizes members to cook more (our reason for being.) We went with weekly. If you cook something this week, your streak goes up. Simple, but hopefully motivating! Lots of our members also just learned they've got a 6 month streak going already which is fun 📈
