It's a really bizarre thing with Houzz. If I am following a conversation, I get emails when there is a comment. But if I click on the link in the email, while I can read everything I can't comment. But I have the site saved to my phone's home screen, so I click on it and all is well. But I missed out on a few years after Houzz took over; in poking around I found that if I searched "Garden Web" I found this page but only by scrolling way down the list. All the garden sites are listed first, then the Home & Garden ones, alphabetically. Hope this helps.

I also have the site bookmarked, because I couldn't find "Cooking" on the list either, but my bookmark takes me right here and it's called "Cooking", go figure.

I see “Cooking” on the list of Home Forums.

The mobile app is funny and I don't use it.

If you're using a browser, tap/click the Get Ideas tab at the top of the screen and you'll see a big white menu. One the far right is a section header that says "Discussions". At the bottom of that section is "Gardenweb". Click that and you'll get to a page on Gardenweb.com callen Your Topics. You might see one there that will take you to cooking, but to be sure look at the sidebar on the left. It may say Cooking within the sidebar under the "Your Topics" header and you can just use that link. Otherwise, click on Home Forums and scroll down. Cooking is listed alphabetically there.

That will get you to the CF if you can't remember the address, which is:

https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/cooking

I don't know how long it's been this way, because it used to be a big muddle, but you can get right to the above address for GWCF using those links.

"Cooking" shows up at the top of the list in the Home Forums for me.

It's weird. Houzz is glitchy, IMO.

And I'm not on a phone right now, so I can't see if it my phone shows the follow button, but I've followed forums, and that puts them on my Topics list on houzz. I can just click on the drop down menu on my phone to go to them.

A couple of other forums I follow are not in the topics selection when starting a thread. I have to be on the forum to start a discussion.

If I enter the site via gardenweb.com, it is the cooking forum. If I enter from houzz, it is home and garden discussion.

On the Houzz site, it is called "tag=319" instead of "Cooking". It does not show up on the list of topics in Houzz, and if you go to "Cookware", there is no link to "Cooking", unless you look at threads that have "Cooking" as an additional topic listing, next to "Cookware".

If you are interested in the Cooking forum, it is better not to use Houzz and continue to use Gardenweb instead.

To answer your question, this forum is not called "Cooking" on Houzz and you will not find it on the list of topics on Houzz. How is that for being snubbed by Houzz?

I use a computer and know little of use with cell phones. But at least for computers, if you go to THIS link, you will find All of the Gardenweb 'discussion groups'. Even while in Gardenweb, Houzz allows you to set up 'Topics' where you can select some of those forums in a list so you can jump from topic to topic if you like with no searching.

Exactly what Lars said. Houzz.com does not list Cooking on it’s Topics list. Even if you put “cooking” in the search box there are no results.

Cooking is indeed listed on the gardenweb.com list of topics.

Too bad the lists are not the same.
