CookUnity is the chef-to-consumer meal marketplace changing how people experience food by giving food lovers access to chef-led premium meals that are fresh and never frozen. Chefs only prepare what has already been sold in local kitchens using locally sourced ingredients, and subscribers benefit from a wide variety of options aligned with different dietary needs and preferences.
"For the first time, Canadians will have direct access to an ever-evolving menu of extraordinary meals crafted by top independent chefs, no restaurant reservation required," said Morley Ivers, co-head of CookUnity Canada, "We're reimagining how people experience chef-made food at home, and we're just getting started."
CookUnity is now available in Ontario, with investment plans to bring CookUnity to every major market across Canada by early 2026.
