About us
At SimplyCook we want to get Britain cooking! Despite our nation’s love of food, constant cooking shows on TV and a few too many celebrity chefs, most of us only have 6 meals or less in our repertoire. We want to change that by making cooking a simple and hassle free process without meaning bland and boring!
We want to achieve 3 things:
- We love flavour – we want your dinners to taste amazing.
- We want to save you money – our short shopping lists mean you don’t have to spend on 20 ingredients to cook a tasty new recipe and our meals work out between £2 and £6 per person in total.
- We want you to be in control – you can use our kits when you want, our recipes take around 20mins, and the items you have to add are easily accessible.
SimplyCook boxes contains 4 easy to follow recipes and 4 ingredient kits. Each kit is designed to provide perfect taste containing ingredient blends devised by professional chefs.
