CookUnity Launches in Canada With Top Chefs To Redefine Meal Delivery
TORONTO, May 22, 2025 /CNW/ - CookUnity announces today the Canadian launch of its 100% chef-led premium meal delivery. The first-of-its-kind service delivers restaurant-calibre meals by A-List chefs, including Toronto Chefs Patrick Kriss and Hemant Bhagwani, directly to Canadians' doorsteps.
Unlike other meal delivery platforms, CookUnity offers Canadians unparalleled access to an incredible roster of renowned and emerging Canadian and international chefs with over 100 menu items to nourish diverse palates. Customers can mix and match meals from different chefs, with fresh, never frozen, meals available across the chef-crafted menu each week to satisfy dietary goals and cravings with no preparation and at accessible price points.
CookUnity's launch menu will feature standout dishes from top-tier Canadian chefs including "Grilled Chicken & Pine Nut–Chili Salsa" created by Michelin-starred Chef Patrick Kriss of Alo Food Group, "Pad Ka Praow Beef with Thai Holy Basil" by Canadian Chef Sand Tsoi, a graduate from Cookin and one of the hand-picked chefs to launch Toronto's inaugural Smorgasburg market, "Jamaican Pepper Shrimp" by Chef Dadrian Coke, the chef de cuisine of Michelin-recommended Chubby's Jamaican Kitchen and "Mongolian Beef & Fried Egg Noodles" by award-winning Chef Trevor Lui of Highbell Hospitality Group. As well as dishes from prominent international chefs, including "Cod in Spicy Moroccan Tomato Sauce" by James Beard Award-semifinalist and Chopped winner Chef Einat Admony, and "Mission-Style Carnitas" by James Beard Award-winner Chef Jose Garces. Each chef brings their signature techniques and distinctive cultural influences to CookUnity's diverse and dynamic menu.
"CookUnity meals are freshly prepared, never frozen, and delivered within 24 hours to maintain the integrity of each chef's culinary vision," said Michael Baruch, co-head of CookUnity Canada. "Our approach gives chefs the freedom to concentrate on what they do best: creating flavour-forward meals, without having to worry about expenses like rent or the complexities of sourcing ingredients and managing logistics."
In line with its mission to redefine the future of food, CookUnity's production model is convenient and sustainable, too. Meals are delivered in recyclable cooler bags that are picked up with the next delivery. And, with its weekly subscription model, chefs only prepare what has already been sold in local kitchens using locally-sourced ingredients to stop food waste before it begins and to reduce their kitchen's overall carbon footprint.
"CookUnity's launch in Canada is just the beginning of a bold new chapter for our company and for food lovers across the country," said Morley Ivers, who is co-leading CookUnity's Canadian expansion. "For the first time, Canadians will have direct access to an ever-evolving menu of extraordinary meals crafted by top independent chefs, no restaurant reservation required. We're reimagining how people experience chef-made food at home, and we're just getting started. Ontario is step one, with investment plans to bring CookUnity to every major market across Canada by early 2026."

Greentech is now exploding – a 300% comeback for hydrogen? nucera, dynaCERT, Plug Power and Nel ASA
Although the US administration under Donald Trump does not think much of climate change, the outlook for the hydrogen sector is improving all the time. This is because it is no longer the US setting the tone but Europe and Asia. Global efforts to make local transport cleaner and more sustainable are now also reaching the transport, logistics, and mining industries. There is still enormous potential for improvement here in terms of reducing climate-damaging emissions. Innovative technologies such as those developed by dynaCERT (TSX:DYA) are now well-known in the market. Therefore, decision-makers in public office will no longer be able to avoid discussing these issues if they want to remain in their positions in the coming years. The public pressure to combat negative climate change globally is increasing. Forward-looking investors should start positioning themselves now. thyssenkrupp nucera – Major order gives cause for hope A major player in electrolyser technology is thyssenkrupp's hydrogen subsidiary, nucera. After a successful IPO in 2023 at EUR 20, the share price initially slumped to EUR 8, but the outlook now appears to be improving steadily. nucera is to develop a comprehensive front-end engineering and design study (FEED) for a pioneering hydrogen project in Europe. This future-oriented project involves the construction of a large-scale water electrolysis plant with a nominal capacity of around 600 MW. The client has not yet been disclosed, but such a scale highlights thyssenkrupp nucera's ambitions to get off to a flying start with innovative solutions. This project also marks a significant step toward an environmentally friendly energy future in the EU, and further inquiries are likely to follow. Although a decision on the specific order volume will not be made until 2026, preliminary work is already underway. The share price has returned to the upper end of the range between EUR 8.00 and EUR 11.00, where it has been trading for a year. All that is missing now is a break above the resistance level of EUR 11.50, after which higher targets can be set again. Compared to other hydrogen stocks, nucera has already proven in the past that it can operate profitably. dynaCERT – A small spark can ignite big momentum There has already been a lot of buzz around dynaCERT. The Canadian hydrogen specialist is considered a technology supplier for large diesel engines across all commercial segments. With its in-house hydrogen retrofit devices under the name HydraGEN™, diesel combustion processes can be optimized to such an extent that, depending on usage, fuel savings of between 5 and 15% can ultimately be achieved. In fall 2024, the coveted VERRA certificate was obtained, meaning that dynaCERT customers will also receive credits for emission certificates if they report their driving logs to dynaCERT accordingly. The rollout of the latest retrofit devices is now on schedule. Following the 'bauma 2025' trade fair in Munich, pre-production of 1,000 units has already been completed in order to meet growing demand as quickly as possible. With a manageable investment of around CAD 6,000 per unit, valuable fuel can be saved. For public transport companies, logistics providers, and construction machine operators of all kinds, large-scale carbon reductions are a critical ESG issue for the future of their corporate mission and, simultaneously, a door opener for a sustainable customer base. In 2024, investor Eric Sprott already invested CAD 14 million at around CAD 0.50 per share; currently, the share price is hovering between CAD 0.14 and CAD 0.16. The reason: the wait for certification took nearly two years. Many investors lost patience and sold in line with the downward industry trend. But now, the signs have turned positive. With a German management team on board, industrial capacity expansion is proceeding exactly according to plan, so initial revenue successes should soon be announced. In addition, the stock has been listed on the OTCQB Venture Market in the US since June. Liquidity is likely to increase sharply soon – time to get in! Nel ASA and Plug Power – Is this the start of a turnaround? There has been a lot of movement in industry in recent days. After three years of total losses of up to 95%, the protagonists Nel ASA and Plug Power made their first attempts at bottoming out in May. For Plug Power, it was the announcement of a new production record in Georgia: 300 tons of liquid hydrogen were produced there in April. In Calistoga, California, Plug Power delivered six hydrogen fuel cells for a new emergency power system. This system replaces diesel-powered generators and can supply the city with clean electricity for up to 48 hours – especially during planned power outages aimed at reducing wildfire risks. The Q1 figures were not encouraging, with net losses of USD 196 million on revenues of USD 133.7 million. A cost-cutting program is now expected to save over USD 200 million annually. Despite the ongoing operational woes, 6 out of 25 analysts on the LSEG platform still recommend buying Plug Power shares. The average 12-month price target is USD 1.86 – a chance for speculative investors to double their money! Investors appear to have lost interest in Nel ASA. Here, too, the ongoing slump in orders is weighing on the Company, which is currently implementing another restructuring program. Not a single expert on LSEG is now recommending the stock as a buy. At EUR 0.21, the share is still 20% above its all-time low of EUR 0.166. There is no sign of an upward trend yet, but at least the major losses now seem to be over. Keep an eye on the price display to react quickly when momentum picks up! Over the past 12 months, thyssenkrupp nucera and dynCERT have already made progress on their path upward. Nel ASA and Plug Power are still working intensively on their turnaround. (Source: LSEG as of June 5, 2025) The stock markets are moving from one high to the next. While defense and precious metal stocks have recently been shining, hydrogen stocks are now also coming into play. However, there is still a long way to go before losses are recouped. dynaCERT has positioned itself perfectly at Bauma in Germany to supply the international transport, local transport, and mining industries with energy-saving solutions.
