Company mission
The Cookaway is on a mission to put joy into cooking with our inspiring chefs, exciting menus and premium quality ingredients from around the world.
Our take
Home cooking is rising in popularity, and cooks want to try more adventurous dishes, but a common issue they face is having to buy large amounts of ingredients, or indeed expensive, rare ones. The Cookaway’s answer is to deliver recipe boxes for a growing variety of world cuisines, as well as monthly live cook-alongs with well known chefs.
The delivery grazing box model came and went fairly quickly about a decade ago, but two things in particular make The Cookaway stand out from that model – the fact that it offers recipes rather than final products, and crucially, that it’s subscription free.
As well as this, a quick look online shows that it’s built up a loyal following and earns consistently excellent reviews. Having been founded in 2018 and establishing itself quite nicely, The Cookaway is now eyeing major investment to rapidly scale the business.
