Customer Quotes

"Hello! I purchased the macaroni cheese today, (my first purchase!), and it is the best shop bought, I've eaten. It's lovely how the cheese doesn't curl at the ends, and the dish retains its consistency. Thank you for a quality product - at a terrific price!"

"I confess to being a lousy cook. I have been a regular customer of COOK in Epping and it has taken the worry out of dinner parties and entertaining guests."

"For the last two years or so I have been happily producing wonderful meals, with COOK's help, and my dinner parties are always voted a huge success. There was no way I could keep up the pretence that it was all my own work, so I have only basked in reflected glory."

"Your meals are gorgeous! Anybody saying they could get a similar thing for less in a supermarket must completely out of their mind. I tried quite a few of your meals and every single one I enjoyed immensely. Since the opening of your shop in Henley, I wish I could cook meals as delicious as yours. How many times you saved my weekend menu. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"

"Introduced recently by a friend, we've now tried three of your dishes and have been delighted with them all. Once a keen cook, now disabled, it's a pleasure to be able to put lovely meals on the table without watching my husband spending his precious time off 'slaving over a hot stove"

"I've been meaning to get in touch since Friday. Have been curious of your Windsor store for a while, finally decided to give it a try! Not only did I get great service from 3 lovely ladies, I had a top meal which could totally have been home made! I'm sold! You have a new customer and I will spread the word! Thanks, just thought I'd make the effort to tell you, because it’s easy to complain, but we don't say well done enough in this world!"

"My friend has treated me to some of your meals as she wanted to be sure I was eating following a family bereavement. I have just eaten the first one, your Lamb Casserole and was absolutely delighted with it, so had to send this straight away. I live close to your Petts Wood branch and will definitely be visiting there soon. Also I have given your menu to my 95 year old mum who wants to supplement the frozen dinners she already gets."

"Just wanted to let you know that we love your meals! I love cooking and normally cook from scratch but on the odd night we'd have take away or a ready meal. But we've become increasingly fed up with the poor quality and the generic mass produced taste of both. Now we've tried a couple of your meals are far superior and do actually taste home cooked and well worth the extra cost. A real treat - they are fab - only tried the beef bourguignon and lamb bordeaux so far but they are delicious. Looking forward to trying some more (and the puddings). Also, the ingredients list is reassuringly short and additive free. I'll never buy another take away again"

"Just to say I have just tried and eaten my first ‘Cook’ product - the Liver, Bacon & Onions cooked by Lewis Feaver. It was absolutely delicious and so ‘homemade’ it was a real treat when I came back in from my Pilates class. All the flavour without expending any more effort! I thought I would just feedback to you while I am still savouring the taste."

"We tried your Thai green chicken curry and Thai rice last week and they were both wonderful - we were due to have friends round on Saturday night and I abandoned my plans to cook a meal and gave them Moroccan Harissa chicken and cous cous and the Malay chicken curry and vegetable rice. It was all just fabulous! I will never eat any of the supermarket 'readies' again! Now, can you please come up with some low-fat meals.......Thanks to the lady in the Godalming store for her advice, she was spot on with her recommendations. "

"Just a quick note to say thank you for our fabulous Xmas dinner! We loved your stuffed turkey crown, trimmings, goose roasted potatoes, parmesan parsnips and your gravy was to die for! Thank you so much for making our Xmas Dinner so quick, easy and stress free. Perfect when managing two toddlers who have their own agenda and need lunch at 12:30 on the dot! Thank you. COOK we love your offering and are pleased to tell you about our good experiences too! Look forward to enjoying many more of your 'stress free' meals in 2009."
