HelloFresh and Jamie Oliver Limited Partner to Make Home Cooking Simple and Even More Delicious

Berlin / DE. (riag) Jamie Oliver Limited and the international meal kit delivery brand HelloFresh have teamed up to make it even easier for people to cook delicious, nutritious food from scratch in their own homes. Both Jamie Oliver and HelloFresh want to empower people to make better food choices and cook using fresh ingredients, no matter what their lifestyle. Both are excited to invest in this dynamic vision together.

 
HelloFresh has in recent years opened up an entirely new segment in the food industry: cook it yourself, without the planning, shopping or food waste. «We want to give everyone – regardless of the time they have at their disposal or the cooking skills they possess – an opportunity to discover the pleasure of cooking healthy, tasty meals», says Dominik Richter, co-founder and CEO of HelloFresh. «In Jamie we have found the best, most trusted and most committed partner for this mission».

Two brands – one mission

«From the outset there was this fabulous, creative connection between our two businesses and the feeling that together we can inspire people in a big way. Jamie Oliver Limited and HelloFresh are of one mind on healthy, high-quality food. We agree that cooking must be fun and that it is best when shared with family and friends. It makes so much sense that we are joining forces to achieve more together. We are very much looking forward to our cooperation with Jamie’s business».

Jamie added, «Being time poor is one of our greatest challenges these days and we know this often impacts how we feed ourselves. It is an issue I have tried to tackle head on and one that HelloFresh solves in a clever and comfortable way. Food and cooking is a joy and a shared passion and that’s why I cannot wait to get started working with them and sharing some of my favourite recipes».
