Start-up Cook 'n Smile aims to build awareness about the impact of food on health and environment, while providing an effective solution for making more sustainable cooking choices.

Cook ‘n Smile is a unique recipe page based on an extensive database of ingredients that contains information about environmental impact and nutritious value of recipes. This information is communicated via a simple point system, easy for interpretation.

Users are welcome to create their own pages where they could save up the best recipes or use meal planning tools. For companies, Cook ‘n Smile is a new channel of reaching out to the consumers by means of providing relevant and interesting recipe-related content. The service has also found application in the restaurants and school/university canteens.

Cook ‘n Smile’s end goal is to build awareness about food impact on health and environment while providing an effective solution for making more sustainable cooking choices.
