COOK was founded in 1997 by Ed and Dale, two big-hearted entrepreneurs, with a little shop in Farnham and an old pizza delivery kitchen.

Inspired by the taste of great home-cooking, their dream was to find a better way of doing business: working for people and the planet, not just profit.

Today, COOK meals and puddings have picked up scores of Great Taste Awards and can be found in hundreds of independent shops all over the UK. We have four kitchens, where everything is still prepared by hand, over 90 of our own shops, and a thriving delivery service.

Cook still prepare their meals and puddings by hand, and they're still obsessed with using the best ingredients from farmers and suppliers they trust.
