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." For more information, visit and follow @cookunity on Instagram.

CookUnity Unveils Chef-Made GLP-1 Balanced Meal Collection
The first-ever chef-curated meal collection tailored specifically for GLP-1 users is now available, combining flavor and nutrition in every bite. NEW YORK, February 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CookUnity, the leading premium chef-made meal delivery service, has launched the first-ever collection of chef-crafted, GLP-1 balanced meals, designed to cater to the growing needs of individuals using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. This new line of meals offers a perfect balance of nutrition and flavor, without compromise, making it easier for users to maintain their health goals while enjoying gourmet cuisine. As more than 24 million Americans are projected to use GLP-1 medications by 2035, CookUnity is at the forefront of the trend toward health-conscious eating. One of the notable effects of those using GLP-1 medications is the drastic reduction in appetite. Although this can be effective in achieving weight loss goals it can also mean loss of the vital nutrients that make up a healthy, nourishing diet. Additionally, recent studies have reported reductions in lean muscle mass ranging between 40% and 60% as a proportion of total weight lost, while other studies show lean mass reductions of approximately 15% or less of total weight lost1. Partnering with renowned Culinary Nutritionist and Registered Dietitian, Kristy Del Coro, MS, RDN, LDN, CookUnity has created a collection of meals scientifically designed to support the specific nutrient-dense dietary needs of GLP-1 users that mitigate malnutrition and muscle loss associated with weight loss from the GLP-1 medications. With over 15 years of expertise in both culinary and nutrition fields, Kristy brings her deep knowledge of nutrition science and culinary artistry honed from her leadership role at a Michelin-starred health-focused restaurant. Her guidance ensures each dish in CookUnity's GLP-1 friendly collection is not only nutritious but also a delight to the palate. CookUnity's GLP-1 balanced meals contain key nutrients such as protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals to ensure GLP-1 users feel satisfied, energized, and get the most out of each meal. The meals are designed to provide balanced nutrition without compromising on taste, offering dishes that are both gourmet and health-focused. Highlights from the new collection include: Beef Tinga Tacos by Chef Akhtar Nawab Sesame-Ginger Tofu Poke Bowl by Chef Emily Peck Pork Al Pastor Grain Bowl by Chef Ivy Stark Seared Salmon with Berry Glaze by Chef Chris Massiah Steak Suya & West African Kale Salad by Chef Pierre Thiam "CookUnity is committed to redefining the meal delivery experience, and our GLP-1 balanced meals are a perfect example of how we continue to innovate with consumers' evolving needs in mind," said CookUnity VP of Brand Marketing, Cam Ferrin. "We're excited to be the first to offer a chef-driven meal delivery service specifically tailored for the unique nutritional needs of GLP-1 users. This collection brings together the best of both worlds: the expertise of top chefs and a science-backed approach to nutrition, making a healthy, nourishing diet both satisfying and convenient." Available now through subscription on each meal is crafted by top chefs to deliver exceptional flavor directly to customers' doors and making it more convenient than ever for busy individuals to join a rapidly growing number of CookUnity customers looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
