So in 2018 CookUnity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs. Today CookUnity delivers 50 million meals a year from the industrys best chefs to homes all over the country. Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.
