Our take
For many people today, finding and cooking fresh and exciting recipes can seem inaccessible. Kitchen Stories solves this problem with its interactive cookery app and website.
Compared to user-generated recipe sites, Kitchen Stories has maintained a strong focus on creating high-quality content. What's more, it allows users to find recipes based on the ingredients they already have. The company has scaled rapidly since its launch, and now boasts a database of around 11 million recipes.
Kitchen Stories's main challenge will be competing with other content-based recipe apps and websites, including UK-based Mob. However, its personalized approach and interactive recipes will ensure that Kitchen Stories can continue to differentiate itself from its rivals, and scale its customer base.
