Our story
Making mealtimes better since 2014
Making mealtimes better since 2014
UCOOK started when two friends, David Torr and Chris Verster-Cohen, wanted to find a more convenient way to help people make dinner. Within two years, UCOOK took the country by storm as South Africa’s favourite Meal Kit delivery company. But that was just the beginning.
Now, UCOOK is all about bringing even more convenient solutions straight to your door, with new offerings like Lunch, ready-made, Frozen Craft Meals, Market and Wine being just one click away. We’re also revolutionising the way South Africans eat. How? By teaching you where your food comes from, showing you how you can support small businesses and farmers with every order, and making every meal as convenient – and wholesome – as we possibly can.
Our young, dynamic team wants to make your life easier and every day we’re cooking up something new so that you can put the joy (and ease) back into your meal times.
