The Story
We really love food but we’ve always liked to eat healthy too. Back before GourmetFuel started in 2014, we found the only way to get our hands on truly good food that tasted good too, was to cook it ourselves. That meant shopping, chopping and cooking meals from scratch. Admittedly we loved to cook, but that takes time and all too often life got in the way and we found ourselves making poor choices at lunchtime or after a long day’s work. So we thought, there must be a way that everyone can enjoy delicious healthy food every day, without having to spend hours in the supermarket and the kitchen….and just like that GourmetFuel was born!
