A MAIDENHEAD firm has raised more than three quarters of a million pounds to support home chefs.
Cook My Grub, which launched at the end of last year, connects qualified home chefs with customers to deliver food not available on the high street.
It has since raised £750,000 in four weeks to expand across the UK.
Founders Dinesh Patil and Shabbit Mookhtiar, said: “It’s been an outstanding start to 2021 as we seek to build healthier, happier, and wealthier communities across the UK.
“The speed at which we’ve secured our funding proves that our simple solution fills a clear gap
in the market for diners looking to order authentic home-cooked food from local chefs in a safe and controlled marketplace.
“Not only are we making the genuinely home-cooked food market accessible, Cook My Grub provides a platform for up-and-coming chefs to build their reputation and chase their ambitions to make a living out of cooking.
“With hospitality being one of the hardest hit sectors by Covid-19, there has never been a greater need for a service such as ours.”
