The Cooking World is a food platform founded in Portugal by a team passionate about everything that happens in and around the kitchen. Our mission is simple: to help you cook better, discover great cookbooks, find the right kitchen tools, and stay inspired by what’s happening in the culinary world.
We started this as a passion project, and it still feels that way — only now we have hundreds of reviews, recipes, and articles to show for it. Food has always been the thread that connects everything we do, and this site is where that thread lives.
Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the most respected names in food and publishing — from kitchen equipment brands like Gozney, Cuisinart, Ooni, Misen, and Acaia, to leading publishers, including Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Phaidon, and Hardie Grant. These partnerships are a reflection of the trust we’ve built with our readers and the industry.
Cookbooks are at the heart of what we do. We read them, cook from them, and give you an honest verdict on whether they’re worth your time and money. From debut authors to Michelin-starred chefs, we’ve reviewed over 300 titles — and we’re just getting started.
Great cooking doesn’t require a professional kitchen — but it does require the right tools. We test and review kitchen equipment so you can make informed decisions, whether you’re looking for your first chef’s knife or upgrading to a precision cooker.
From weeknight staples to ambitious weekend projects, our recipes are here to inspire. We also cover the broader food world — YouTube channels, food trends, the best restaurants in our favourite cities, and anything else that belongs on the table.
We’d love to hear from you — whether it’s a cookbook recommendation, a product you’d like us to review, or just to say hello.
Feel free to contact us whenever you need to.
The Cooking World is a team of professionals passionate about the world of food from diverse areas.
