Our community
A community that cooks together
Become part of the CooknShare Community and discover how enjoyable cooking can be. Whether you're looking to build confidence in the kitchen, learn new recipes, improve your cooking skills, or connect with like-minded food lovers, CooknShare offers a welcoming space to learn and grow together.
Est. 2019 — CooknShare began as a humble chat group of home cooks swapping recipes.
We cook, we share, we are CooknShare.
Belonging
What being part of it feels like
It feels like cooking with friends who happen to know the answer. Someone asks a question mid-recipe and gets a reply before the sauce splits. Someone shares a photo of a first-ever loaf and the whole group celebrates like it's their own.
Some weeks it's a hands-on workshop — aprons on, machines humming. Other weeks it's an online class you follow from your own kitchen, or the weekly live where everyone cooks the same dish at the same time.
And sometimes it isn't about cooking at all: garden mornings, festive potlucks, nights worth celebrating. The recipes are how everyone arrived. The people are why everyone stays.

The people
Kartini — the heart of it
CooknShare is led by Kartini — a mother of five who traded fifteen years in IT for the kitchen she loved, taught baking from her own home, and watched a 2019 chat group of home cooks grow into everything on this page.
She built the community on a simple observation: people rarely stop cooking because it's hard. They stop because they're doing it alone. Give a home cook a circle that answers questions, celebrates the wins and shows up every week, and the cooking takes care of itself.
She's still right in the middle of it — teaching classes, going live with the community, and answering questions in the group chats where it all began.
And the team beside her
A close team of managers looks after the community alongside Kartini — teaching classes, onboarding new members, and keeping every question answered.
