My Cooking Box: Italian cuisine in one meal kit

Founded in 2015 by Chiara Rota, My Cooking Box is an Italian startup that blends the rich heritage of Italian cuisine with the convenience of modern meal kits. Inspired by foreign visitors’ desire to recreate Italian dishes at home, the startup developed meal kits that allow anyone, regardless of their cooking experience, to easily prepare iconic Italian meals.

The Unique Offering: My Cooking Box

My Cooking Box is not just another meal kit; it’s a carefully curated experience. Each box contains all the ingredients, perfectly portioned and 100% Made in Italy, to cook a traditional Italian dish. The recipes, crafted by renowned chefs, are designed to be easy to follow, ensuring that anyone can enjoy the rich culinary heritage of Italy in their kitchen. “Our mission is to offer a product that allows people to appreciate the culinary richness of Italy,” says the team. The long shelf-life of the ingredients also adds a practical element, making it convenient for consumers to enjoy a gourmet meal whenever they choose.
