Moment coaching turns your kitchen into a personal culinary school, so you can learn as you go and cook like a chef.
You cook, we'll coach.
Life’s best moments happen around the dinner table —especially when we cook and share dishes we love.
At Moment we believe everybody can create healthy, delicious, restaurant-quality meals, which fit right in your schedule.
We teach the fundamentals of cooking, so you can confidently prepare any dish, and enjoy doing it.
Moment is a totally new way to improve your cooking, using a mix of professional chef input and AI smarts.
"Before I used Moment I relied on condiments like sriracha and filled my dishes with multiple ingredients to add flavour and interest. Now, it surprises me how delicious I can make my dishes from just a handful of ingredients, and I'm more conscious of a particular ingredient's role in the final dish. For instance, why am I using garlic - what kind of flavour do I want from it? I'm now able to control the outcome I want to create more confidently and it makes me so excited try new things everyday."
"I've been loving my cooking coaching on the Moment app! It's helped me improve my skills and become a more confident cook. I especially appreciate how the app has encouraged me to cook more often, living alone, I lost the habit of cooking.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
"Overall really good experience from the device set up to the coaching and ease of communication was designed with customer in mind. I've learnt so much from my Moments experience. Would highly recommend."
Say konnichiwa (こんにちは) to Moment! With offices in Tokyo Japan and Bristol UK, we've already been helping the home cooks of Japan - hear what the experience has been like for them here.
Cooking skills were once shared between generations around the cooker.
Today, that’s not always possible, so we built Moment to offer the same trusted guidance, to help you cook the dishes that matter most.
Our smart ‘cook cam’ is the no-hassle way to document how you cook now. This means you’ll receive professional chef-backed coaching on the cooking fundamentals that recipes simply don’t cover, and always personalised to how you're cooking today.
Our cook cam attaches magnetically under your hob extractor. This means we can help you at every step of cooking, and offer the help you'd get if one of our pro-chefs was right there cooking along with you.
When you submit a recording of your cooking session, we then use a mix of professional chef input and AI smarts to offer you the right feedback.
You’re always in control, and you'll only receive feedback and coaching on the videos which you submit for feedback in the app.
Moment is a completely new way to become a better cook. Instead of individual recipes, we focus on improving how well you understand the chef fundamentals that turn cooking into a passion and joy.
Moment fits right into your life - so you can improve your kitchen skills when you’re in there anyway. Don’t just cook, get coached!
We suggest new dishes every month, each one selected to teach a fundamental principle of cooking whilst also making a tasty dinner.
As you cook, Moment’s cook cam creates a timelapse for you, which you can then share with your coach in the Moment app to get feedback.
Our mix of professional chef feedback and AI smarts offer tips and advice on how you can improve your fundamental cooking skills.
Moment is like having an expert chef in your pocket. Our Coach Assistant learns how you cook and offers chef-backed tips and advice so you can taste the improvement, and because it's a two-way chat, you can always ask questions or get a reminder.

Answers to questions you might have about Moment.
Moment learns about what you love to cook, and how you cook it, through our piece of cutting-edge tech, the Moment 'Cook Cam'. This small device magnetically attaches under your hob extractor to give Moment a birds-eye-view of your hob and neighbouring kitchen preparation surfaces.
The Moment cook cam automatically captures a timelapse video whenever you cook and these then appear in your Moment app. You're always in control of your cooking recordings and before you receive coaching and feedback on your cooking recording, you'll first select the video in your app, and submit it to your Coach Chat.
Inside the app your Coach Chat is the easy single place you'll receive feedback on your submitted cooking videos and interact with our intelligent Coach assistant. Our Coach Chat is powered by a mix of cutting egde AI and real humans connected with our expert chef panel - so you can ask questions, recieve tips, and rest assured knowing the information is what you need to take your cooking to the next level.
Moment is for every home cook! Whether you're a cooking-course regular looking to learn the pro-chef twists to make your dishes really sing, or someone who just wants to learn the basics and build their confidence in the kitchen.
Our expert chef-backed coaching meets you where you are, so even if you're struggling to just cook an egg, we'll start by helping you right there! Our Coach Assistant never judges, and always encourages, because we want everyone to experience and benefit from the best possible home cooking.
Moment is the creation of Cookpad - the world's largest recipe sharing app with over 6 million user submitted recipes - so we know a thing or two about different cuisines, and Moment isn't limited to any of them!
When you first open the Moment app you'll find three suggested recipes to cook. These are from our collection of 'chef standard' dishes, ones that we believe will not only make a tasty meal, but also teach you the fundamentals of cooking intuitively. You'll unlock three more of the 'chef standards' each month too designed to build all the skills you'll need to become an intuitive cook.
We don't think so! We've designed Moment to integrate seamlessly into the vast majority of home kitchens. For most people, all that's required is magnetically attaching our cook cam to the underside of your hob extractor. This gives our cook cam a birds-eye-view of your hob and neighbouring cooking surfaces, so the only change you might need to make is doing more of your cooking prep work next to the hob - where it will we be captured on your cooking videos.
Moment costs £55 per month in the UK, and included in your first month is a free Cook Cam - which would normally cost £180. This monthly fee gives you access to unlimited coaching, unlimited chat with our Coach Assistant, and three new 'chef standard' dishes each month to really progress your cooking.
We have found our customers love Moment, and on average 72% have kept up their coaching more than six months. But, if you ever find it's not quite right for you, you can cancel your subscription anytime with no further commitment.
Moment was born in Japan, at Cookpad - the world's largest recipe sharing service. We asked our founder Aki, to describe the mission:
"It took us 26 years to build Cookpad - the world's largest recipe service.
Our mission is to make everyday cooking more enjoyable and to empower people to live happier, healthier lives.
We realised that to achieve our goal, we needed to go beyond recipes and teach people the fundamentals of cooking.
That's why we created Moment, to help everyone experience the joy of cooking intuitively."
