The Big Green Button Aftermath: Cook’n 16 Is Here...and We’d Love Your Thoughts


A few nights ago, something a little crazy...and a little magical...happened.

We gathered live, took a deep breath… and pushed the Big Green Button to release Cook’n 16 together.


That moment never gets old.

Releasing a major new version live is risky. Software has a mind of its own. But doing it together—with you watching, cheering, asking questions, and trying the new features in real time—has become one of my favorite Cook’n traditions.

And wow… what an evening.

So first, thank you. Whether you joined us live, watched the replay, or are just now diving into Cook’n 16, your excitement and encouragement mean more than you know.

Now that the Big Green Button dust has settled…

A Quick Question (Takes About 10 Seconds)

Because Cook’n has always been shaped by the people who use it, I’d love to hear from you.

We put together a very short, two-question poll:

  • How you felt about the Cook’n 16 Live Release Event
  • Which Cook’n 16 improvement excites you the most

Take the 10-Second Cook’n 16 Poll

(Your feedback helps guide what we build next...and it really does matter.)




A Friendly Reminder: One of the Most Generous Gifts You Can Give This Christmas

Before Christmas arrives, I want to make sure you don’t miss this.

The Cook’n Family Plan promotion ends in 10 days, and it’s something special.

For a small additional cost to you, you can give family or friends:

  • A Cook’n membership worth up to $150
  • A tool they’ll use every single week
  • Help saving time and money at the grocery store
  • Easier meal planning
  • Healthier, happier meals at home

It’s the kind of gift that quietly keeps giving...long after the wrapping paper is gone.

And once this promotion ends, it may not come back.

One last note of gratitude

Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to help Alice Osborne and her family as they recover from the fire we shared in last week’s newsletter. Your kindness has been deeply appreciated.


If you meant to help but haven’t had a chance yet, the GoFundMe fundraiser is still open: Support Alice Osborne on GoFundMe



Thank you again for being part of this journey—whether you’ve been with us for 30 years or 30 days.

Cook’n is better because you’re here, and I can’t wait to see the survey results!

Merry Christmas!
