One link. The lobby fills.
Start a party from any recipe in cook mode and share the invite. Friends join from their own kitchen, and the recipe travels with the link.
Cook party
Everyone cooks. Nobody hosts.
A cook party turns one saved recipe into a live dinner across kitchens. Send the invite, watch the lobby fill, and cook the same dish together, each of you at your own stove.

How a party comes together.
Your pace, in your lane.
Everyone moves through the same steps at their own speed. Lanes show where each cook is, shared timers keep the simmer honest, and voice chat and reactions carry the table talk.
Plates stay covered.
Snap your plate as you finish. Photos wait under the cloche until everyone serves, then the party gets the reveal, and a recap to keep.

Cooking together from separate kitchens
A cook party is the same recipe, at the same time, in different kitchens. Everyone sees the step the group is on, timers are shared so nobody is four minutes ahead, and there is voice so you can talk while your hands are busy.
It exists because cooking with people is the good part and distance usually kills it. A video call while cooking is awkward: you are propping a phone somewhere greasy and everyone is on a different step. Sharing the recipe state instead of just the camera is what makes it work.
The reveal
At the end everyone photographs their plate, and the photos stay covered until the last person is done. Then they uncover together.
This is a small thing that turned out to matter. The same five dishes, from the same recipe, look completely different, and revealing them at once is closer to sitting down together than a stream of photos arriving one at a time.
What it does not do
It is not a video call, and it is not a broadcast. Voice is between the people in the party, and there is no audience, no recording, and no replay afterwards.
Party size depends on your plan, and everyone in the party needs Sugo installed, which currently means an iPhone.
How many people can join a Sugo cook party?
One friend on the free plan, up to 4 on sugo+, and up to 10 on famiglia. Everyone in the party needs Sugo installed, which currently means an iPhone.
Do we all need the same recipe?
Yes, that is what a cook party is. Everyone cooks the same recipe at the same time, sharing the current step and the timers, so the group stays together rather than drifting apart.
Is there video, or just voice?
Voice is the point, because your hands are busy and your phone is on a counter. Camera is optional. It is not a broadcast: audio stays between the people in the party, and nothing is recorded or replayable afterwards.
What is the photo reveal?
At the end everyone photographs their finished plate and the photos stay covered until the last person has finished, then uncover together. Five people cooking one recipe produce five noticeably different dinners, and seeing them at once is the closest thing to sitting down together.
Is cook party free?
There is a free version: you can cook with one friend on the free plan. Larger parties are part of sugo+ and famiglia.
