We announced today 📢 an important strategic milestone for our Group: What's Cooking? and AURELIUS, a global alternative investor, have an agreement on the intent to sell and acquire the SBU Savoury (464m of the EUR 832m consolidated turnover of What's Cooking? in FY 2023). The transaction will result in a net equity value for What's Cooking? of approximately EUR 100m after costs incurred. The proposed transaction is subject to customary conditions, employee consultation and regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed during 2024 or at the latest early 2025. We are confident that the strong fundamentals of SBU Savoury will continue to flourish 💚 under the future ownership of AURELIUS and will support on a smooth transition. In addition, at What's Cooking? we accelerate 🍝 the organic growth of our SBU Ready Meals business, both under our own and private label brands, by investing and through potential acquisitions. Doing so, we continue to leverage the strengths of each business unit towards the future! We go for it! #WhatsCooking #Food #strategy #Savoury #ReadyMeals #YesWeCare

Green-GO! @What’s Cooking?: we take CO2 reduction seriously! At What’s Cooking?, we believe in cooking up a better world, and our Green-GO! journey is at the heart of that commitment. 📉 240 tons of CO2 saved We’ve invested in measurement tools and developed great recipes (validated by external panels) that are lower in CO2 emissions and richer in vegetables. One of these is our Come a casa Moussaka, where we've combined delicious taste with sustainability. As a result, we’ve reduced our CO2 emissions by 240 tons per year. 🌳 This is equivalent to planting 11.000 trees and letting them grow for a year. Day by day, we craft with care to reduce our carbon footprint while offering good food for all and protecting the planet. Follow us for more Green-GO! updates as we continue this journey. #CO2Reduction #SustainableFood #GreenGO #WhatsCooking

At What’s Cooking? we are honored to have been able to create tasty inspirations for your amazing launch. Together with The Jamie Oliver Group, we’ve brought a shared vision to life: offering delicious easy-to-cook frozen ready meals ❄️that prioritize great taste 😋, choice with care for sustainability and quality. It’s been an exciting journey, and we can’t wait to see these products in the supermarket and discover the experience of customers and consumers! #WhatsCooking #food #JamieOliver #FoodInnovation #NewRangeLaunch #proud
Today the office is buzzing with excitement. After 18 months of hard work, we launched the first of our delicious new range of food products with the goal of elevating and invigorating the frozen and store cupboard aisles across supermarkets. It’s been a gargantuan team effort across all parts of the business. At the heart of it, Jamie and his food team have worked tirelessly - pouring 20 years of his cooking expertise, his sourcing standards, his infamous twists - into a range that will make taste buds tingle with delight. The beautiful eye-catching packaging has been designed by our talented in house art team; our nutritionists have made sure we stick to our 70% Nutrient Profile Model target across the entire range; our clear labelling sets a high bar and all of the products, as part of our company wide circular funding model, will directly contribute to the stellar work of our Ministry of Food Foundation. Rooted in his most popular recipes spanning Comfort Food, Naked Chef, Jamie’s Dinners, Jamie Cooks Italy and more, first off the ranks is our new frozen meal centre range. Jamie has always been a champion of the freezer and we knew we’d create meal time options that make consumers rethink their freezer expectations. Next level deliciousness from his Mighty Moussaka, Veggie Lasagne, Comforting Cottage Pie, Beef Bourguignon, Chicken Tikka Masala and more. Plus a frozen veg range filled with taste and goodness and finally, a frozen potato range that sets a new high in taste - chips cooked in beef fat, the ultimate mash, hasselback potatoes and garlic and rosemary roasted! Simple, easy and tasty. So why a frozen meal range? Isn’t Jamie a chef who wants to inspire us to cook more? Our desire to get Britain cooking hasn’t changed but we know that people are busy. It’s unrealistic to expect busy people to cook from scratch every night. These meal centres and frozen sides give high quality, high taste options from a trusted chef that’s now available for everybody. We’ve always believed in balance - you’ll see that across our restaurants and books. And with our new digital website filled with hundreds of recipes and hacks and the new Simply Jamie book crammed with simple, fast and gorgeous recipes, we are covering all the different gears for how people cook today. And there’s more to come. We’ve got 27 new storecupboard solutions across grains, pastes and meal pouches coming to major supermarkets later this year. We set out to do something really special. And I believe we have.
