Meet Cocooks

We focus on easy-to-use, human-centered experiences, using our app to make cooking classes, DIY lessons, and building a healthier lifestyle simple and fun.

Founded in 2023, Cocooks is built by passionate food lovers, chefs, and tech enthusiasts who believe cooking should be accessible to everyone.
We’ve seen how busy lifestyles make it hard to learn and enjoy home cooking, so we created a platform that makes booking classes, taking DIY lessons, and building healthy habits easier than ever.
