From our first cooks

  • “Gather helps a ton when life is already hectic enough. We still get to try new recipes without buying expensive spices and they take care of making our shopping list. So worth it for us!”

    Devin G.

  • “It’s so nice having the work taken out of planning meals, thinking about groceries, and finding new recipes to try. This is like a one stop shop!”

    Eliza B.

  • “Gather has unlocked my cooking game! As an intermediate cook, I’ve learned so many new techniques, found amazing ways to integrate spices, and made delicious dinner. I’m allergic to gluten, and it’s easy to find gluten-free, allergy friendly recipes that are healthy and delicious.”

    Hayley W.

  • “Before Gather, weeknight home cooked meals looked like chicken breast, vegetables, and rice. Now I’m regularly making flavor filled dishes from all over the world. Thai or Indian food in my house used to mean take out, now thanks to Gather I’m able to enjoy it at a fraction of the cost, and learning how to cook those foods while I’m at it.”

    Andrew B.

You know how this goes.

A new recipe means $40 of jars you'll use once.

The rest goes stale in the back of the fridge.

So the same eight dinners stay on rotation.

Trying something new should be the fun part.

We take care of the hard parts.

Real flavor, not filler

Your packet

cayenne pepper, dried red pepper flakes, ground cardamom, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground garam masala, ground smoked paprika, ground turmeric.

A jar

Water, tomato puree, cream, modified corn starch, soybean oil, sugar, dehydrated onion, “spices,” “natural flavor.”

$4 a recipe. A jar runs about the same. One of them is mostly water.

Tear, pour, done.

No measuring spoons, no pantry archaeology, nothing extra to wash.

Nothing goes to waste.

Your recipes share one shopping list, so the whole bunch of cilantro gets used.

We talk you through it.

Every step tells you what to look for. Color, smell, texture, not just a timer.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Dinner on the table.

The idea behind Gather

Some of the best hours of my life were spent at a dinner table in rural Indiana.

My dad usually cooked, sometimes my mom. As my sister and I got older, we cooked too. Carrying the food out was the thing that pulled everyone else into the room, and then nobody left. We talked about the day, about ideas we'd had, about nothing in particular. The plates were empty long before we were.

Then I left Indiana, and I found flavors that corn and potatoes had never prepared me for. Smoked paprika. Vietnamese cinnamon. The first time a Sichuan peppercorn buzzed my tongue numb I put my chopsticks down to ask what that was (mala, or the numbing half of it). None of it replaced anything. It just gave the table more to talk about.

Bringing food to a table is an act of love. That is why Gather exists, and it is the one part of this we are never going to change.
