Cookout is more than just Food
Our Founding Story
There is no denying the power of food over people, culture and traditions.
No matter who you are or where you come from, odds are, you like food. But what’s better than a Michelin-starred dish or a meal at the most popular restaurant in your city is homemade food.
There’s something about homemade food that gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling, no matter the season, no matter how your day is.
“My best memories of home are the simplest dishes that my mom made using the simplest ingredients.”
Why? Because she puts all her love into preparing and cooking the food with a cherished family recipe. And nothing beats a family recipe.
It’s the alluring aroma of the kitchen, the laughter around the family table and the fond childhood excitement, memories and nostalgia it brings back.
My mom turned her passion into a business when she started selling her baked goods online during the pandemic. Nevertheless, cooking, packaging, delivering and expanding the customer base were not easy tasks for her. However, she never gives up even though she has to wake up at 5 a.m. every single day to bake because she loves cooking and most importantly, she loves sharing her food.
And this is why we started Cookout. To bring a community-based food system to life, where everyone can explore and enjoy authentic home-cooked meals, where anyone can share the food they made with love with their neighbours and earn a meaningful income from their own kitchens.
