We are a young local company dedicated to bringing wholesome, delicious gourmet meals to your home.

   
  Sustainability Sustainability is integral to the Cook! mission. After all, future generations should enjoy the same access to a wide variety of high quality natural foods that we do today. Sustainability is about creating a just food system. This means celebrating and protecting our local food sources, for example, from overfishing, or harmful agricultural practices. It means working toward a model where people from all walks of life have access to affordable, healthy foods.  

We belong to the Chefs Collaborative, a nonprofit network of chefs that fosters a sustainable food system through advocacy, education, and collaboration with the broader food community. Please read our principles below. 


 Statement of Principles
  1. Food is fundamental to life, nourishing us in body and soul.  The preparation of food strengthens our connection to nature.  And the sharing of food immeasurably enriches our sense of community.
  2. Good food begins with unpolluted air, land, and water, environmentally sustainable farming and fishing, and humane animal husbandry.
  3. Food choices that emphasize delicious, locally grown, seasonally fresh, and whole or minimally processed ingredients are good for us, for local farming communities, and for the planet.
  4. Cultural and biological diversity are essential for the health of the earth and its inhabitants.  Preserving and revitalizing sustainable food, fishing, and agricultural traditions strengthen that diversity.
  5. By continually educating themselves about sustainable choices, chefs can serve as models to the culinary community and the general public through their purchases of seasonal, sustainable ingredients and their transformation of these ingredients into delicious food.
  6. The greater culinary community can be a catalyst for positive change by creating a market for good food and helping preserve local farming and fishing communities.
