A cooking community for everyone who loves food.
Cuisine-based and topic-based communities, a community-driven recipe library, and a social graph that lets cooking actually lead somewhere.
Dine With Me is a cooking community platform — a place where home cooks, recipe creators and food enthusiasts gather around the cuisines they care about and the people who care about them too.
Most cooking lives in silos: a recipe in one app, a video on another, friends on a third, and the dinner table somewhere else entirely. Dine With Me ties them all into a single community where every recipe, video and dinner shows you who else is cooking, who you'd want to meet, and how to actually share a meal.
Communities are organised around cuisines (Italian, Mexican, Thai, Indian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Japanese, French and many more), dietary patterns (plant-based, sourdough, fermenting, baking) and neighbourhoods. Inside each community, members share recipes, swap technique tips, schedule community dinners and run themed cook-offs.
There's no algorithmic feed pushing you to scroll forever. Every screen has an exit into a real interaction: save a recipe to a board, follow a cook whose food you'd actually eat, message a community member, or schedule a dinner with someone you keep liking.

Frequently asked
What is a cooking community on Dine With Me?+
A group organised around a cuisine, technique or place — Italian Home Cooks, Plant-Based Bakers, Tokyo Late-Night Ramen, etc. Members share recipes, ask questions, schedule community dinners, and sometimes run small competitions among themselves. You can join as many communities as you like.
How are these different from Facebook groups or subreddits?+
Facebook groups are walled-garden chat. Subreddits are link-and-comment threads. Dine With Me communities are wired into the same identity that holds your recipes, your friends, your scheduled dinners and your competition history — so the conversation can become a meal in a couple of taps.
Can I start a community?+
Verified hosts and chefs can create communities; everyone else can request one. Communities are moderated by their creators and a small platform team to keep the food-and-cooking focus.
Do I have to be a good cook to join?+
No. Plenty of communities are explicitly for beginners learning a cuisine. The point is curiosity about food — not skill level.
