Banquist delivers recipes from Michelin star chefs to be cooked at home
Michelin star recipe box start-up Banquist has raised £1.6m as investors continue to plough money into the booming sector.
Launched in May 2020 during the height of the UK’s first coronavirus lockdown, the company generated £1m turnover in its first six months as consumer demand for recipe kits soared.
Banquist aims to teach customers how to cook world-class meals, delivering Michelin star recipes from celebrated chefs, including the likes of Theo Randall, Adam Handling and Atul Kochhar.
It will use the money from its first fundraising to grow the size of its team, invest in the technology and continue to recruit chefs for the service.
