No. Tabkha Live was created to empower unpaid home cooks. In many cultures, this responsibility has traditionally fallen on women. You’ll notice we speak a lot about women home cooks on our platform. However, we understand that people of all genders may hold this role and responsibility. All unpaid home cooks, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, age*, or beliefs, may register to be a home cook on Tabkha Live.

*home cooks must be 18 y/o to register on Tabkha Live

For each live cooking session hosted, home cooks receive $8 USD. In addition, by agreeing to record and share their cooking session on our platform, home cooks will receive additional income based on the number of views their recorded session receives.

Tabkha Live offers live cooking sessions in the language selected by the home cook. As our base of home cooks is rapidly growing, we hope to offer live cooking sessions in a wide variety of languages very soon. We are also in the process of enabling users to access recordings of cooking sessions with multiple language translation options available.

Yes!  Users can post a request for a live cooking session on preparing a specific meal. Home cooks will respond to the user request and initiate a suitable cooking session.

Yes! The user while reserving a session will have the option to request a 1-1 live cooking session with a home cook.

Great question! The answer is, it depends. The number of users cooking in each live session is dependent on the cap set by the home cook who scheduled the session. It can range from one user to large groups of 10 or more.

Yes! The Tabkha Live experience is a social and cultural one. Like all social media, it connects people around the world. As a social enterprise, our main mission is to provide economic opportunity for unpaid home cooks. For this reason the platform will automatically credit the home cook’s account at the end of each session hosted. So, if you want to share your cooking with others for fun, you’ll have the option to donate any income you earn back to the platform. These donations will help us keep Tabkha Live running and growing.
