Better Business Act 101
Posted on 25 April 2023
There is a long, wordy but important legal document called the Companies Act, which sets the rules for all British businesses. Within it, there’s a troublesome section – 172 – that basically requires directors to prioritise profit over everything else, including people and planet. As we see it, this effectively puts future generations at risk. The Better Business Act wants to change this one section so that it’s no longer an option for business to pursue profit at the expense of workers, communities and the environment. In theory it’s quite a small change in company law, but it’s one that could make a big difference in the world.

The First COOK Menu
Posted on 30 March 2023
Here’s our first ever menu from 1997, which now proudly hangs in the COOK office in Sittingbourne. You’ll see that a few of the dishes have stayed with us since we were called Cakes & Casseroles (not the most imaginative name, in hindsight). Ah, it feels like yesterday…

Jo Colman, Summerdown: healthy soil, healthy business
Posted on 3 February 2023
Looking out across a field of buckwheat, planted to provide shelter and food for wild birds, Jo Colman sums up his challenge as “having to make decisions for generations to come.” Jo himself is the third generation of his family to farm Summerdown Farm in Hampshire. It’s the UK’s largest peppermint farm and its eponymous brand produces a range of luxury mint products from teas and bath lotions to the mint chocolate crisps you can buy in COOK shops.

Meatballs in a Rustic Tomato Sauce Recipe
Posted on 9 January 2023
*based on a 2-portion meal
COOK meals are perfect for when you fancy a night off cooking … something even the most passionate home cook needs now and again. But how do our prices compare with making it yourself?
We followed our recipe for two for Meatballs in a Rustic Tomato Sauce at home and found it was more expensive getting the ingredients from the supermarket. We based this on checking Sainsbury’s online ingredient prices in October 22 and now we have updated to most recent prices in February 22, for a two portion recipe. We didn't include ingredients we had in the fridge or kitchen cupboard (including any alcohol) and used the smallest available amounts of what we needed.
