Set up your kitchen in 30 seconds

Tell us your cooktop, your pan, and your experience level. Every recipe adapts to what you actually have — not what a restaurant kitchen has.

Adapted to your stove and pans

The same dish cooked on a gas wok and an electric non-stick pan requires different heat, different timing, and different technique. Holia adjusts the method for every step — so the recipe actually works in your kitchen.

See what each step should look like

Most recipes say "stir-fry until golden." But how golden? Holia shows you a photo of exactly what the food should look like at each key moment — so you stop guessing and start recognizing.

Fix common mistakes before you ruin the dish

Every tricky step flags the most common mistake people make — and tells you what to do instead. You don't learn by failing. You learn by knowing what to watch for.

Know what's essential and what's replaceable

Missing an ingredient doesn't mean you stop cooking. Holia marks every ingredient as essential, safe to swap, or emergency-only — with specific substitutes so you can keep going.

Cook Mode: designed for messy hands and hot stoves

One step at a time. Large tap targets for wet hands. Built-in timers that alert you when it's time. No scrolling through a long recipe page while your pan is smoking.

Yes. Your first 4 recipes are completely free, no credit card required. After that, Holia Pro is $4.99/month or $24.99/year — unlocking all recipes, all cuisines, and priority support.
Gas stoves, electric coil stoves, ceramic/glass-top stoves, and induction cooktops. For cookware: woks, non-stick pans, stainless steel pans, and cast iron skillets. Every recipe adjusts heat, timing, and technique based on your actual setup.
When you set up your Kitchen Profile, you tell us your cooktop, pan type, and experience level. Holia then adjusts each step — different heat settings for induction vs. gas, different timing for non-stick vs. wok, and clearer instructions for beginners.
Not at all. Holia shows you exactly what each step should look like with reference photos, flags common mistakes before you make them, and tells you which ingredients can be swapped. It's designed for people cooking Chinese food for the first time.
Every ingredient is tagged: essential (must have), safe to swap (alternatives provided), or emergency only (last-resort substitute). You'll see specific replacements — like chives instead of scallions, or soy sauce plus sugar instead of oyster sauce.
Holia is currently available on iPhone only (iOS). We're focused on delivering the best possible experience on one platform before expanding.
Videos show one kitchen setup — usually a professional one. Holia adapts every step to your equipment, shows visual references for what done right looks like, warns you about mistakes at each step, and tells you what's essential vs. replaceable. It's a personalized cooking guide, not a one-size-fits-all video.
Holia covers 12 regional Chinese cuisines including Sichuan, Cantonese, Shandong, Jiangsu, Hunan, Fujian, Anhui, Zhejiang, and more. Each recipe is verified by experienced cooks, not generated by AI.
