The home for your cooking.

Culina is a mobile app that turns scattered recipes into a personal cookbook you actually cook from. You can save a recipe from an Instagram reel, a YouTube video or any web link; photograph a cookbook page; describe an idea and let AI draft the dish; or plan several meals at once with Meal Prep. Every recipe becomes the same clean format — ingredients, short numbered steps, timers, servings — with calories, protein, carbs and fat estimated per serving from a curated ingredient database.

When it's time to cook, Cook Mode shows one step at a time with built-in timers that ring when done, and ingredient quantities that scale to your servings. Recipes and cookbooks can be shared with a simple culinaapp.in link, and a light social layer — profiles, follows, a curated “Recommended by Culina” shelf — helps good food travel without turning dinner into a feed.

Great recipes now live in thirty-second videos and camera rolls, where they're impossible to cook from twice. And for millions of home cooks, the first question about any dish is one most apps ignore: can I eat this? Culina answers both. It gives every recipe a permanent, cookable home, and tags each one honestly — veg, vegan, egg or non-veg, a Jain-friendly flag, and declared allergens — derived from verified ingredients, never guessed.

Culina is a Flutter app backed by our own API on Google Cloud (Compute Engine, asia-south1) with Firebase for authentication, media storage, analytics and crash reporting, and Google's Gemini models for recipe understanding and generation. Nutrition data builds on the USDA FoodData Central catalog, curated and extended for Indian kitchens.

We're a small, independent, self-funded team building Culina from India — cooks first, engineers second. We read every piece of feedback that comes through the app.
