Over the last few year in particular, people have felt themselves plagued with kitchen fatigue and have found extra comfort in the convenience of food kits and meal subscriptions. CookUnity sets itself apart as a chef-to-consumer meal subscription service that's designed to provide an elevated at-home dining experience. Through the start-up's weekly subscriptions, members benefit from receiving small-batch meals freshly prepared by chefs.
Rebecca Liu-Doyle, who will be joining the start-up’s board of directors, says "CookUnity is creating a world where people can have the convenience of a subscription service with the excitement and quality of the best restaurant food in the country — this is an entirely new culinary experience."
Some of the comforting meals that are delivered through CookUnity include Lemon Rosemary Chicken, Bulgogi Ramen and Beyond Meat Tacos.
