One of Simply Cook’s main goals is to get more people in the United Kingdom cooking at home for themselves and their loved ones. It’s true that the average American only knows six or so meals, but that’s despite the abundance of cooking shows and celebrity chefs in the country. So they’re introducing quick and simple meals that are anything but tasteless and boring in an effort to change that stereotype.
As a result, they have three goals:
Your dinners should have great flavour because they value flavour.
To achieve this end, they have kept ingredient lists for their recipes short so that you can whip up something tasty without breaking the bank.
Their kits are practical because you can use them whenever you like, the meals can be prepared in under 20 minutes, and all of the necessary ingredients are easily accessible.
Every Simply Cook box has 4 easy recipes and 4 ingredient sets. Each kit’s flavorful ingredients were carefully conceived by trained chefs.
Initially, SimplyCook.com was Oli Ashness’s idea. While he enjoyed cooking, his busy London lifestyle left him with little time to devote to creating gourmet meals for himself and his friends. He wanted to start eating better at night, but he quickly realised that it would take too much time and money to experiment with new dishes and buy high-quality ingredients. It wasn’t until a few months later that he started working on a remedy to this problem. The result is a website called SimplyCook.com.
They’ve grown their team and their clientele since then, and they now consistently provide food for over 700,000 people.
Simply Cook Meals
1. Bang Bang Chicken
Wok-tossed noodles in a peanut sauce with coconut milk, tender chicken, and crunchy bell peppers makes for a visually appealing dish. The dish is given new vitality and a satisfying “bang” with the addition of red chilli, coriander, and a splash of lime juice. For everyone’s sake, we made sure to keep the heat at a manageable level. If you want your dish to be even spicier and look fancier, feel free to sprinkle some minced chilies on top.
Bang Bang Paste
A punchy, aromatic paste
Garlic & Coconut Paste
Their signature paste for rich depth
Chilli Garnish
A chilli and desiccated coconut blend
2. Beef Rendang
In 2011, Beef Rendang was named number one on the “World’s 50 Best Foods” ranking. Because of the lengthy cooking time and the resulting tender, fall-apart chunks of beef, this rich, slightly dry curry dish is typically reserved for special occasions in Indonesia and Malaysia. In order to save you time in the kitchen without sacrificing the classic aromas and flavours of a Rendang, they’ve developed a speedy version of the dish that still features cardamom, turmeric, chilli, and coconut. You can easily replace the sirloin steaks with chicken if you desire.

3. BBQ Tandoori Chicken with Sweet Potato Wedges
Indulge in a classic Tandoori dish, complete with the smoky, Punjabi spiced, juicy chicken for which the cuisine is famous (in a “tandoor”). They’ve managed to bottle the irresistible flavour of this timeless classic. There’s no need to spend the night marinating the meat; just throw it on the grill, crack open a cold one, and prepare for a taste of Indian summer.

A Bombay-potato style spice blend
