Back
We're excited to join Canada’s vibrant food scene with a diverse community of chefs who are redefining what prepared meals can be—through craftsmanship, creativity, and a deep love of great food. From Michelin-starred icons to rising Canadian talent, chefs are the heart of the CookUnity experience, each bringing their unique culinary point of view to your table.
Starting June 1, 2025, we will begin deliveries in Ontario, with planned expansion throughout Canada set for early 2026. But this isn’t just about expanding a service—it’s about empowering chefs to share their stories through food, and connecting eaters with restaurant-quality meals made with intention. Every dish is personally crafted and overseen by the chef who created it—from sourcing ingredients to final plating—so what arrives at your door is more than a meal. It’s a taste of someone’s craft.
