Selected among the top cities and countries in Europe, we chose Bristol, not only because it was one of the fastest-growing tech hubs in Europe and one of the most forward-thinking, innovative and dynamic places in the UK, but also because of its vibrant food culture.įrom offices near Temple Meads, our team of more than 100 product managers, designers and engineers are working with our community teams around the world to develop a recipe sharing platform and cooking community to enable home cooks to share and find daily cooking inspiration. In 2017, Cookpad established its global HQ in Bristol. With over 5.5 million recipes shared on Cookpad to-date, we’re currently the largest and the only truly global recipe sharing platform in the world… and we’re just getting started. Funded by our Japanese business but managed independently with its own product team and platform, our recipe sharing service is available in over 70 countries and more than 30 languages.
Today, more than 50% of the Japanese population uses Cookpad at least once a month.Īfter a decade of successful growth, Cookpad started its international expansion in 2013, with the aim of bringing our mission to everyone in the world. Aki decided to focus on cooking because cooking is ubiquitously human, connecting us with those we buy our ingredients from, cook for and eat with, thus affecting everything from our own health, to the health of our families, society and the planet.Īn engineer by training, Aki wanted to use technology to help solve problems around everyday cooking, so established the recipe sharing service which grew into a vibrant community long before other social media networks came into existence. Cookpad was founded in 1997 in Japan by Aki Sano, who realised the global population was becoming less connected to food and the environment and this was having a negative effect on our individual and collective well-being.
