icook History

Early beginnings

Picture this: It's 2020, and, on a crisp sheet of paper, a dream begins to take shape. But wait, dear food lovers, to say our story started then would be like saying a soufflé rises with nothing but eggs! Every delicious dish has its secret ingredients, and ours? A rich blend of past experiences. Imagine Felipe, or as we fondly call him, 'Bonny', our charismatic founder. He's not just tossing ingredients into a bowl; he's weaving stories, memories, and a sprinkle of magic. And then there's Eric, our fearless co-founder, who saw not just a dream, but a vision worth chasing.

Now, you might hear whispers calling icook a 'platform'. But let's set the record straight! We're more like a community gathered for unique gourmet experiences, where everyone's invited. It's all about the people, the laughter, the shared love for food. We've got the crème de la crème of chefs, not just for their skills with a knife or their perfect béchamel, but for the heart and soul they pour into every dish. It's like getting a warm hug from your grandma in every bite!

Dive into icook, and you're not just browsing; you're embarking on a culinary journey, meeting Brazil's finest chefs. Or should we say, Brazil's finest storytellers? Because, trust us, every chef has a tale to tell, and oh, what a delight it is to discover them!

And behind the scenes? Our curation team, with their eagle eyes and refined palates, are always on the hunt. They're not just spotting ingredients; they're sensing the magic, the unspoken tales, the love in every dish. So, come on in, the kitchen's warm, and the stories? Endless!"

In a mere two years, icook has whipped up a cookbook's worth of delightful tales and memories!

But don't let our youthful spirit fool you. Beneath the fresh accents of our startup lies a soul steeped in traditions that have been simmering for centuries. While our digital platform might be a recent addition to the culinary world, the heart of icook beats with timeless passion. We're like a cherished family recipe, passed down through generations, each adding their own touch - embracing the age-old belief that food isn't just sustenance but a universal storyteller who's journeyed through the vast culinary landscapes of the world. Every flavor, every scent, is a chapter in our storybook, recounting tales of adventure, love, and camaraderie.

A Symphony of Flavors

Every bite with icook is like striking a chord in a grand symphony of flavors. From the tangy zest of the Amazonian fruits to the deep, smoky undertones of Southern barbecues. Our platform is a melody of Brazil's diverse culinary landscape. Each recipe, each chef, brings a unique note, creating a harmonious tune that dances on the palate and lingers in the heart.

You see, at icook, we believe in the power of passion. It's the invisible ingredient, the one not listed in any recipe but makes all the difference. It's the late-night recipe trials, the relentless pursuit of the perfect flavor combination, the joy in discovering a new technique. Our chefs don't just cook; they pour their heart, soul, and a dash of passion into every creation, making every bite a testament to their dedication.

A Culinary Tapestry

Brazil is a vast canvas of cultures, traditions, and flavors. And icook? We're the artists, painting a vivid tapestry of this culinary diversity. From the coastal delights of Bahia to the hearty meals of the Pampas, we weave together a story of a nation united by its love for food. Each dish, each ingredient tells a tale of its origin, its journey, and the hands that crafted it with love.

The Journey Ahead

The road ahead for icook is paved with aspirations and dreams. Every dish we present, every chef we introduce, is a testament to our commitment to culinary excellence. We believe that food is not just about sustenance; it's an art, a form of expression, a story waiting to be told. Our mission is to ensure that these stories reach every corner, every home, and every heart.
