What’s more, over a third of food produced for human consumption is wasted. It’s estimated that 8–10% of global emissions is directly related to food waste. Last autumn, COP26 shone a light on some appalling statistics around food waste. “She had a baby recently, and her mum was here to help her, so we sent over some extra meals to help them out! We feel like we’ve seen all these steps of her life.” How sustainable is Let’s Cook? “Our first ever customer is with us,” says Gustav. One of the most rewarding things about running Let’s Cook is the long term connection that Nicolas, Santiago and Gustav have built with their clients. Last year, the company was awarded a 2-year membership in Netmentora, and won financing from ENISA which is currently being invested in a new website to offer a more agile and friendly customer experience. That year, Let’s Cook won second prize in Innofood, a food industry innovation competition, and in the third quarter became the largest meal kit provider in Spain. “We managed to adapt and get on course,” Nicolas says, “and in 2020, the business grew by almost 300%.” But when Covid struck, rearranging the logistics proved challenging. In 2020, the company set up its own warehouse and operations facilities in Barcelona. “He loved the project,” Gustav explains, “and joined the team to help us out as we were growing. Santiago Castiella Aguilar actually started out as a client in the early days of Let’s Cook. The company grew as well, from two partners to three. We got our first subscription in April 2019 and they are still a client!” “Well,” says Nicolas, “In 2019 the project was awarded the best Executive MBA project at the business school where we were studying.

“By taking care of meal planning and food shopping, we help our clients free up time to be better spent with loved ones.” What have been the highlights and challenges of the last few years? “Let’s Cook brings back the joy in cooking, removing the stress around the question ‘What’s for dinner?’” says Nicolas.
Many people cook between 5 to 10 dishes on rotation – but Let’s Cook recipes draw inspiration from cuisines all over the world to keep things exciting. The dinner recipes are designed to make weekday dinners feel like an event, without a lot of work. Let’s Cook offers a great deal of choice and flexibility – clients can increase or reduce the number of meals they receive, and even skip weeks. They then have the recipes and ingredients delivered for up to five meals per week. Let’s Cook is a subscription-based service, where clients sign up for the Gourmet, Family, Vegetarian or Vegan plan. “They’re the reason for our existence.” How does Let’s Cook work?
“Our values underpin our growth,” adds Nicolas. “Our clients are having a new experience and learning something when they cook with us – and that’s part of our passion.” “Having people eating delicious, healthy food, with zero waste and biodegradable materials – this is what’s important to us,” Gustav says. Starting their own business allowed Nicolas and Gustav to choose a direction that was in tune with their social and environmental values: healthy, fresh and locally produced food.
“We are doing this by offering a comprehensive cooking experience that inspires a comfortable and healthy lifestyle.” “We wanted to positively impact the quality of life for our clients and become a point of reference in healthy food concepts,” Nicolas explains.
What vision did you all have in mind when you started the company? They paired up to come up with a project focused on online meal kit delivery services, and Let’s Cook was born. Let’s Cook was formed when the two founding partners, Nicolas Escasany, and Gustav Johansson, met on the Executive MBA at EADA Business School in Barcelona. Let’s Cook: a food startup with a mission
