What if the best gift you could give yourself this festive season was time?
Simplify the way you eat
We all know how the story goes, planning, shopping, cooking, cleaning… and then repeating it all again the next day. But what if you could skip the stress and mental load, and still serve meals that taste like they came from your favourite restaurant?
That’s exactly what UCOOK’s Meal Kits were created to do.
No more planning or last-minute grocery runs. No more worrying about what’s for dinner. Just beautiful, fresh ingredients, easy-to-follow recipes, and perfectly portioned ingredients delivered to your door, giving you back the time you’d rather spend swimming, reading, catching up with friends, or just doing absolutely nothing.
Add a dash of festive magic
And when it comes to the holidays? UCOOK is turning up the heat in the best possible way.
We have something for every taste: think juicy roasts, fresh salads, golden potatoes, and decadent desserts – all designed for sunny South African celebrations. It’s everything you love about UCOOK, wrapped up with a little extra magic.
This festive season, we’ve teamed up with local Chefs, Zola Nene and Ollie Swart, to create a range of festive meal kits that take the stress out of holiday hosting. Each Festive Box is designed for four people and includes everything you need for a festive feast – from starters to dessert. And if you’re hosting a larger group, mix and match our Festive Boxes to bulk up your feast, or to diversify it! Chef Zola’s two Festive Boxes share the same sides, and Chef Ollie and Chef Kate’s boxes share the same sides too – so you can either keep things simple with matching sides for bigger groups, or mix it up by pairing a Zola box with another chef’s for even more variety on the table.
As Lauren Nel, UCOOK’s New Product Developer, puts it: “It’s about creating time to enjoy the people you love, with food that makes those moments even better.”
And because we love spoiling you, the first 1500 customers to order a Festive Box will receive Festive Gifts worth R550!
Delicious made easy
Of course, our weekly Meal Kits are still the heart of what we do, and they’ve only gotten better. Each week, our chefs design 32 new dishes across eight categories, so there’s something to suit every lifestyle and craving:
- Adventurous Foodie: for when you’re ready to cook something bold and new.
- Quick & Easy: perfect for busy weeknights.
- Fan Faves: comfort food, reimagined.
- Veggie: for plant-lovers or anyone curious about going green.
- Carb Conscious: for those keeping things balanced.
- Calorie Conscious: for mindful eaters.
- Simple & Save: great taste on a budget.
- Lunch: for good food on the go.
Each recipe is designed to help you eat well and waste less, using seasonal produce and ingredients sourced from local producers who share our passion for sustainability. We care deeply about where our food comes from, because great taste starts with great ethics.
With UCOOK, you can also order your weekly groceries – from fresh eggs to pantry staples, wines, deli items, and free-range proteins. You’ll even find gorgeous flowers, snacks, and frozen meals for those nights when cooking feels like too much. Basically, everything you need to make good food happen, without stepping foot in a grocery store.
Eat well. Live more. Stress less.
Whether you’re ordering your weekly Meal Kit, stocking your freezer and pantry, or planning a festive feast, UCOOK gives you the tools to eat beautifully and live more freely.
When food is this easy, you can get back to the good stuff: good company, good memories, and a good dose of sunshine.
