A letter from

Ryan Ebner

Co-founder & CEO

Ryan Ebner

This mission is personal.

My co-founder, my little brother Justin, passed away a few years ago. It changed me. What I walked away with was a deep appreciation for the small moments... sitting around a dinner table, sharing a meal, and being present with the people you love.

That's what OnlineCook is really about. Not just recipes and tools, but the reason to cook in the first place.

We built this company with a commitment, before we made a single dollar: 10% of all profits, every quarter, would go to organizations that help feed people who need it. No campaign. No fine print. Just a permanent line item. Thank you for being here and being a part of our OnlineCook family.

How we give back

Not a campaign. A commitment.

10% of all profits

Every subscription, every cookbook, every premium upgrade. A portion goes straight to hunger relief.

Built for the long run

This isn't a marketing moment. It's a commitment we made before we made a single dollar.
