Would You Buy Food From a Stranger's Kitchen?
A new app called Homemade allows “hobbyist cooks" to market their favorite recipes to neighbors.
Anisha Samant grew up in India, then attended the French Culinary Institute in the U.S. In her Washington Heights apartment in New York, she prepares food using fresh-squeezed lemons from her garden. Her kitchen cupboards are stacked high with spices like curry powder with garlic and sundried coconut. Cloves and cardamom seeds sizzle on the stove.
Samant is one of over 70 chefs using a new app to sell meals to strangers. It’s all part of a service called Homemade, which the co-founder Nick Devane describes as “Etsy for food,” where culinary craftsmen can market cuisine from their home kitchens.
