COOK
At COOK, they make remarkable food for your freezer, prepared by hand at their Kitchen in Kent, using the same ingredients and techniques you would use at home. On every COOK dish you’ll find the name of the chef who prepared your food. Their food looks and tastes homemade (maybe even a bit better!) and their founding principle in 1997 was to COOK like you do at home – which is the same principle they have in mind when shopping for their ingredients. See the website for their vast range of options.
