# Dine With Me

> The social network for food lovers. Cook, host, compete, share.

Dine With Me is a social food network — a culinary social graph for home cooks, dinner hosts, recipe creators, food enthusiasts and culinary communities. Categorised on Schema.org as a SocialNetworkingApplication, not a recipe app or food-delivery marketplace. Existing networks burned people out on passive scrolling; Dine With Me is built for real-life encounters around the table, with food as the universal hook.

## Category and entity
- Category: social food network / cooking community platform / culinary social network.
- Comparable entities: Letterboxd (for film), Strava (for fitness), Goodreads (for books). Dine With Me is the equivalent for cooking, food and shared meals.
- Differs from recipe apps (Yummly, Tasty), food blogs (NYT Cooking, BBC Good Food) and food-delivery marketplaces (Uber Eats, DoorDash) — those store or ship food. Dine With Me connects people through cooking and dining.
