OUR MISSION

To deliver nutritious and delicious cuisine to our clients

Planning menus, shopping for ingredients, and ultimately preparing healthy, nutritious meals is a time consuming chore. With our busy lives it can be difficult to find the time and energy to prepare healthy meals. This is where Why Cook? comes in.

Using the freshest and healthiest ingredients our talented chefs prepare pre-packaged meals that are tasty and entirely stress-free for our customers. Our cook and chill process ensures the freshness and quality of our meals without the use of additives or preservatives. We work diligently to maintain our reputation for creating the highest-quality, nutritionally balanced and delicious cuisine.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Why Cook? has been operating within the South East Queensland and Northern NSW markets since 2009, when we began supplying healthy balanced meals for Queensland’s kids through school tuckshops under the Tuck Shop Chef brand.

Since mid-2014, we started distribution of single serve fresh meals to Service stations. Today you can find our meals at selected retailers and you can purchase meals here on our website for home delivery to selected Brisbane postcodes, or pickup from our kitchen at The Gap.

Our meals are developed by a Nutritionist and prepared by an internationally trained Head Chef with more than 20 years experience. We follow the Smart Choice Green Category philosophy of preparing meals by selecting lean cuts of beef or chicken and using less oil and reduced sodium in our meals. This helps us deliver healthier, balanced and scrumptious meals to our customers.

Safety Record

Our kitchen is proud of our very High food safety record, with 100,000’s meals delivered to schools and homes without any issues.

Eat Safe Rating

We have been consistently awarded the highest Eat Safe 5 Star Rating in Brisbane rating by Brisbane City Council.

Had your chicken breast with coriander sauce, griddled veg and brown rice yesterday which I bought from Standard Food Market at Newstead and loved it. So thought I’d like to see what else you do as they are a complete meal which comes in handy when you want something quick and healthy.

A very belated but heartfelt thank you for making deliciously scrumptious curries for my birthday. We had the Mauritian Beef and Chicken Rougaille and they were loved by all - even the children! Jocelyne kindly supplied separate green and red chilli paste for those who liked to 'hot up' the dish. An extra bonus was I had a little left over and was able to escape from cooking duties later in the week. Jocelyne - the special rice was delectable too - thank you for putting in that little 'extra' to make my day special. I can definitely recommend the meals are a great way to feed a crowd with minimal effort and maximum taste! XX

Regina

The girls loved the butter chicken! Greg and I took the salad for lunches and it was great also! If I could order some more meals for next week it would be great. Can I please get another chicken salad, a beef mussaman, a chicken pizzaiola and I may as well also get a lasagne for the freezer too! Thanks so much!

Why Cook meals have been restocked this afternoon. Have you tried them? These delicious meals are generously sized and taste like good honest home cooking. The small Brisbane company producing them may not have big advertising budgets, but they deliver good products and excellent value for money. Come and grab one or two or five, support a small home grown company!

Thank you for the delicious food prepared for my function. The special menu was superb and enjoyed by all. Highly recommended.

Siobhan and Alexander Costantini

We had the pleasure of having Jocelyne and Patrice provide the food for our engagement party. Our guests nibbled on the Vegetarian Frittatas, Satay Chicken Skewers and Beef & Dill Meatballs for appetisers and for mains they enjoyed the Roasted Vegies in Aromatic Tomatoes and Herbs with Lemon Rice, Chicken Noodle Salad and Mauritian Beef Curry. Everyone commented on how fresh and delicious the food was. It was a wonderful night made all the better enjoying great food with friends and family.

I have always been 100% happy with both the service and quality of products that you provide. I love that these meals are just like the ones I would make at home for my own family, with no preservatives or additives and only fresh ingredients.
