About UCOOK

UCOOK came about in 2014 when two friends, David Torr and Chris Verster Cohen, noticed a gap in the market for convenient, healthy dinner solutions. After officially launching the business in 2015, they were quickly joined by a few friends, and proceeded to operate the young start-up out of a garage in Cape Town, packing each box themselves.

From 24 boxes in their first delivery round to tens of thousands in 2018, a warehouse space in Joburg and Cape Town, and now a team of 50, UCOOK has established itself as South Africa’s favourite dinner kit service in just 3 years.

Our young, dynamic team is forever striving to make your life easier – we’re learning as we go and hope that we can continue to make your weeknights all the more enjoyable with every box we deliver.

As Seen in

Help us fight hunger in South Africa

We’re excited to launch the UCOOK Food Fund. The Food Fund has one mission – to feed as many people who need help as we can. Together with your help, we’re donating money to support incredible partners who are dedicated to eradicating hunger in South Africa. Every rand raised through the UCOOK Food Fund will go towards ensuring that the people affected most by the economic fallout have enough nutritious food to eat every day.

We’re donating every week and need your help

To do this, we’ve marginally increased our Meal Kit prices by a small amount over this period. This money will go directly to the Food Fund to help our partners get food to people in need. With every order, we’ll match and double the amount donated from customer boxes. Visit our Plans page for more information about our new prices and how much UCOOK is donating per order.

Meet our partners and donate instantly

We’re working with FoodForward SA, PEDI and Ladles of Love to get food to those who need it most. Head to our Food Fund page to Learn more about how our partners are making a difference, and find out how to make an instant donation through SnapScan or Zapper – even if you’re not ordering UCOOK this week.
