During the lockdown, who hasn’t been tucking into takeaways more regularly? It’s so easy to press a few buttons on your smartphone and within what seems like minutes the UberEats driver arrives with your takeaway in hand. Brits spend over £1,200 a year each on takeaways according to research from Compare The Market. With so many of us still working from home, now could be the best time to get back into cooking. Simply Cook could help with cheap cooking alternatives. In this article, I review Simply Cook and provide a free box code to try too.
What is Simply Cook?
SimplyCook is an online food business with a vision to make cooking new meals accessible for all by providing authentic herbs, spice blends, pastes, marinades, garnishes and sauces that pack a flavour punch designed to fit in with busy people’s lifestyles while taking the hassle out of cooking. Similar to HelloFresh in that they provide spice, stock, paste and pots, but the big difference is you have to buy the main ingredients (the meat, rice and salad etc). Ordering Simply Cook is a good way of trying new recipes without having to buy lots of new spices. Each recipe is usually about 20 minutes to prepare and cook.
Who is Simply Cook aimed at?
Busy people who are interested in trying out new meals. Those with small kitchens or lack of storage space for spices, jars and seasonings.
Simply cook recipes
Simply Cook recipe list features a vast mixture of hot meals like stews, curries and bowl food. There are plenty of special diet options, including light, gluten-free and vegetarian recipes.
What’s good about Simply Cook?
Simply Cook boxes are a good treat to receive weekly or monthly. They offer reasonable value, it is easy to change the ingredients, provide simple recipes and offer a great range of recipes to try. A SimplyCook box gives you chef-blended Ingredient Kits and easy-to-follow recipes cards delivered straight to your door.
What’s not so good about Simply Cook?
You do need to buy the main ingredients (the meat, rice and other main ingredients), which adds time, effort and an extra cost to your shop up. It is £9.99 for 6 portions of food, that’s before you buy the main items.
How much does Simply Cook cost?
This is a good option to get back into cooking and only costs £9.99 a week or month for three meals. I recommend ordering a free box and seeing how you find it.

Their exciting recipes only require 4-6 fresh ingredients that are easy to find in your local store. What’s more, these recipes can be cooked from scratch, in around 20 minutes. The fresh ingredients, technique and style are left up to you, so you can improvise and make each dish your own.

GreatDealsMadeEasy Rating
7/10 – Simply Cook offers tasty ingredient treats each week to help you make new meals you’ve never tried. However, it is definitely cheaper to stock up on herbs, pastes, and sauces if you have the storage space and know what you are going to cook in the long term. Try a box for free and see for yourself.
