Our Story
Kitchen20 was born from a simple yet powerful observation: in our increasingly digital world, the joy of cooking and sharing meals remains one of our most meaningful human connections. Founded in 2023 by Olivia "Liv" Blackwood, our platform bridges the gap between traditional cooking communities and modern technology.
What started as virtual cooking sessions during the global remote work era has evolved into a vibrant, technology-driven community of food enthusiasts, home chefs, and culinary explorers. Our mission is to make cooking more accessible, enjoyable, and connected than ever before.
