| Description | Marketplace for prepared foods |
BookOfCooks (beta) is a new Web startup connecting culinary professionals and foodies in the world’s first prepared foods marketplace.
Users can browse the site easily and at no cost on BookofCooks to find local “cooks†who meet their needs, while chefs can showcase their cooking talents, meet like-minded professionals, and earn money as they are matched with potential clients.
Whether users are in search of gluten-free, vegan, or organic cuisine, are eager to join the slow food movement, or are nostalgic for a taste of their hometowns, BookofCooks is a comprehensive directory to fulfill any culinary need.
The Web site (currently in beta) serves as an online community to help people locally find professional chefs, caterers, specialty foods and more within a particular region.
The BookofCooks platform delivers resources and technology for consumers, foodies, and chefs allowing them to connect with like-minded individuals and potential customers both locally and online.
The platform allows users to:
• Book A Cook – Users can order prepared foods from cooks in their areas; search by location or food type to find specialty cooks in other areas; review and share their experiences with others while rating the chefs
• Be a Cook – Culinary professionals can set up their own free online restaurant/bakery; chefs can upload menus, licenses and videos; cooks can showcase their cooking skills and earn money while building a customer base
