Jamie says “I want to give busy, on-the-go people everything they need to help them create great tasting, homemade meals in around 20 minutes – faster than having a takeaway delivered and better tasting.
There are so many of us with smartphones and we are rarely more than a few feet away from them, why not arm them with the tools to cook great food at home.”
