About COOK
Inspired by the meals his mum batch-cooked and froze in old ice cream tubs, Ed founded COOK in 1997 with his friend Dale, a catering chef. They dreamed of making the world’s best prepared meals and doing business differently from the crowd.
Having helped found the UK wing of the responsible business movement B Corp in 2014, COOK is at the forefront of redefining the purpose of business, so it works for people and the planet, not just profit. We have won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for our RAW Talent employment scheme, giving people a second chance after prison, homelessness and other challenges. Every year our meals win Great Taste Awards and glowing reviews from customers and in the national press.

Nice delivery and options - cheesecakes an avoid
Nice delivery and options. Liked some meals like the lamb stew though believe the portions are on the small side. We ordered the cheesecakes but really didn’t like them - they were like mousses rather than standard firm cheesecakes

Born up a tree!
We went in to shop for a modest birthday meal.
The next thing it had taken on a life of it's own.
A discount here and a markdown there on quality stuff as always.
Now it will be a fabulous dinner with still a handful of pennies to spare!

Carrot cake
Absolutely delicious. Moist with a creamy topping. Easily enough for 8 slices and three left over for the next day. Good price at £20.

Try it yourself and see…
Used them regularly when down in Swavage always found them as good as homemade. So was pleased to see my lical store delivered and jumped right in again. Excellent quality and the food is plentiful do not have to look for thr main ingredient. I would recommend you try yourself to see what I say is very true. (Covers all tastes)

Cook Meals
It’s easy to find meals that are tasty and easy to cook. There are also meals that suit people with allergies, eg gluten free. My Christmas dinner was all from Cook, apart from the turkey as I prefer a fresh one. Everything was also gluten free which made it easier to include everyone in the meal.

Your dishes are welcome and quite tasty but dearish…
Your dishes are welcome and quite tasty - but you have local [Henley] competition. It costs £7.
Waitrose fish pie for one 400g costs £4.25 [less 0.87 pence - if you buy 3]. This tastes marginally better and is suitable for freezing.
