  • Big news from our kitchen — we’re honored to join forces with The James Beard Foundation as their first-ever Exclusive Chef-Crafted Meal Partner for the Taste America culinary series. Together, we’re unlocking an elevated era of chef-to-you dining. But rather than a beginning, this marks a powerful continuation of our mission: giving world-class chefs a new way to reach you—beyond the four walls of a restaurant. We’re proud to stand alongside one of the most respected culinary institutions in the country to bring more access, creativity, and flavor to the table. #LetsEat #CookUnity #ChefCrafted #GoodFoodforGood

  • Together with Within Health, CookUnity has delivered over 50,000 meals to more than 400 individuals in eating disorder treatment—each one crafted by independent chefs and guided by clinical nutrition principles. At the core of this partnership is a shared belief: that food plays a vital role in healing—not just physically, but emotionally. Seeing our chef-made meals support people in such a vulnerable stage of life is a powerful reminder of why we built CookUnity. These meals aren’t just delicious—they’re designed to nourish with intention, empathy, and care.We’re incredibly proud of the CookUnity Business and Culinary teams who helped bring this vision to life, and deeply grateful to Within Health for their trust and collaboration. Watch the video to see how real food, made by real chefs, can make a real difference. #foodismedicine #cookunitybusiness #medicallytailoredmeals

    Co-Founder & CEO @ Cookin (acquired by CookUnity) | Enabling Chefs to be Successful Entrepreneurs

    Post-acquisition integrations are notoriously tough. Different cultures, systems, priorities, and sometimes, egos often stand in the way of success. It’s rare that a deal turns into something more than just a transaction. But every now and then, you get lucky. This photo captures one of those rare moments: dinner last night with Mateo and Michael in NYC. I look at this pic and see co-founders and colleagues who have been blessed to become true partners and friends. Since joining forces, the integration between CookUnity and Cookin Inc. has been the opposite of typical: Instead of friction, we’ve found our vibe; and instead of compromise, we found deep collaboration. 1 + 1 has genuinely equaled 3, if not more. Grateful for the shared vision, trust, and deep respect that make this work not just successful, but joyful.💜 Here’s to what we’re building, and to the burgeoning friendships that power it.

  • The story of Chef Andres Mendez has been an inspiration and a true reflection of our mission: To empower Chefs everywhere to nourish the world through our shared love of great food.

    Co-Founder & CEO CookUnity

    From dishwasher to chef entrepreneur making seven figures. When we launched CookUnity, Chef Andres Mendez’s journey was exactly the kind of story I hoped we’d make possible. Andres came to the US from Mexico in 2009 and started as a dishwasher at CookUnity in 2016. Day after day, he watched chefs working with ingredients and techniques from around the world — and that sparked his dream to become a chef. Today, he serves over 100,000 meals a month and generates seven figures. His dishes are produced by 85 sous chefs and cooks across seven major cities. With his income, he even bought a farm back in Mexico and now employs most of his family there. Andres is one of the hardest workers we’ve ever seen and he’s been with CookUnity from almost the beginning. And in 2024, he was our top-performing chef on the entire platform. Stories like his are why we built CookUnity — to give chefs a place to grow, create, and connect people with food. Anyone else a fan of Andres’ cooking or got a favorite dish? I’d love to hear.
