My partner and I run a cooking club. Every session we organize who's coming, what they're bringing, which cookbook we're cooking from, and share a photo album. This lived across a group chat, a notes app, and a Google Sheets. Too much to track. Cocina is how I solved it.
The Problem
Research
Part A: Interview with Mom, cooking club founder, 4 years
"We mainly just use a group chat and Google Sheets. I had never thought to create an archive photo album. That would be great to help organize the club's photos instead of having to ask everyone for theirs. It would also help me plan out my Instagram posts!
I would like everything in one place so that nothing gets lost. Events, sign-ups, cookbooks, and photos. An app would also give our cooking club that extra level of personalization and community."
