CookUnity Expands into Breakfast with Culinary Creations from Award-Winning Chefs Emily Peck and Jose Garces

NEW YORK, N.Y.— This fall, CookUnity– the first chef-to-eater marketplace and new e-commerce platform – will be expanding its product portfolio to include an extensive array of breakfast dishes. The expanded product offering will be available starting October 17th in the NYC market and surrounding areas (NJ, Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Hartford, Connecticut) through its weekly subscription service, which delivers exceptional, freshly prepared meals by a collective of independent chefs once a week; the platform currently serves eaters in 90% of the United States.

New offerings in the first roll-out of expanded dishes will feature breakfasts by some of the nation’s most renowned chefs. Nutritionist and Chef Emily Peck offers healthy, plant-based dishes including Strawberry Chia Yogurt Parfait with Granola; Iron Chef & James Beard Award winning Chef José Garces offers a Mission Style Chorizo Breakfast Burrito; and America’s most celebrated butcher Pat LaFrieda’s Power Wrap with Egg White, Turkey, Mozzarella, Spinach and a side of Pesto or Hot Sauce.

“Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day and I am excited to bring some of my personal favorite breakfast foods to the CU community,” said CookUnity Chef Garces. “We’ve had a lot of success with our lunch/dinner Mission Style Burritos, so I’ve created two breakfast burritos, exclusively for CookUnity. I’m also working on two breakfast arepas and two oatmeal blends. Whether you’re looking for something sweet or savory to start the day, I’m covering all the bases. These recipes are what I eat when I have time to make breakfast and I can’t wait to share them with subscribers.”

Many breakfast dishes are designed to be enjoyed all-day as well, as Chef Emily Peck demonstrates by designing her meals to fit individuals with varying types of diets. “These versatile meals are designed to keep blood sugar stable; eat them on the run or keep them in the car to snack on. They are a great balance of protein, good fats and carbs your body needs, without the crash.”

The expanded marketplace offers chefs an opportunity to increase their revenue from the CookUnity partnership (an equitable model between the platform and its chefs to become entrepreneurs), and offers eaters more choice for delicious, ready-to-eat options that can fit into their lifestyle.

“Our product expansion brings us closer to our mission to unlock the world’s best food creators and to bring their dishes to doorsteps everywhere,” said CookUnity CEO and Founder Mateo Marietti. “We want to make the best chefs and best meals accessible to all, the same way the best music or movies are available to us. We believe chefs and eaters deserve that, and we’re proud to support chefs in scaling their reach to millions of eaters.”

CookUnity supports creativity, expression and diversity of voices in the culinary landscape, and is leveraging its platform to increase awareness of what a more fair and sustainable food system can look like. CookUnity features delicious food with ethically sourced ingredients from more than 80 chefs who adhere to the highest standards and artistry of production, and has more than 500 chefs on the waitlist. With the product expansion into breakfast, CookUnity’s dishes offer eaters more options than in 2018 when the company first launched, and is a business-model rarity in the more than $160 billion global ready-meal market.

About CookUnity

Launched in 2018, CookUnity is the first chef-to-eater marketplace connecting a diverse group of chefs with food lovers to elevate the at-home dining experience, from dinnertime to breakfast, snacks, lunch and more.

CookUnity is building an equitable model for chefs to become entrepreneurs, where chefs can expand their geographic reach to more than 50K weekly subscribers across the country (versus a restaurant or food service venue which has a limited number of diners at a time).  The platform delivers fully prepared, restaurant-quality dishes to eaters from CookUnity’s seven state-of-the-art kitchens, offering chefs an opportunity to reach eaters across 90% of the United States. This new e-commerce model enables chefs to focus on creating delicious food, building strong teams, and connecting directly with fans.

CookUnity has raised more than $70 million from top investors, including Insight Partners, Endeavor Catalyst, IDCV, Fuel Ventures and Gaingels.
