Ryan Menno Brouwer

Ryan Menno Brouwer came about in 2014 when two friends, David Torr and Chris Verster Cohen, noticed a gap in the market for convenient, healthy dinner solutions. After officially launching the business in 2015, they were quickly joined by a few friends, and proceeded to operate the young start-up out of a garage in Cape Town, packing each box themselves. From 24 boxes in their first delivery round to tens of thousands in 2018, a warehouse space in Joburg and Cape Town, and now a team of 120, UCOOK has established itself as South Africa’s favourite dinner kit service in just 4 years. Our young, dynamic team is forever striving to make your life easier – we’re learning as we go and hope that we can continue to make your weeknights all the more enjoyable with every box we deliver.
