At Cooked by Nikki, we believe food is more than just fuel — it’s comfort, connection, and care, served on a plate. But behind every hearty meal we deliver, there’s a story — one that started with a simple desire to make life a little easier and mealtimes a lot more joyful.

Where It All Began

Our journey started in a small home kitchen, where Nikki — a passionate home cook and busy mum — found herself juggling the chaos of everyday life while trying to put real, nourishing meals on the table. Between long workdays, parenting, and everything in between, cooking from scratch every day wasn’t always realistic… but takeout didn’t feel like the right solution either.

She knew there had to be a better way — something in between fast food and gourmet effort. Something wholesome, delicious, and ready when needed. That’s when the idea struck: what if people could enjoy real home-style meals, cooked fresh and frozen for convenience?

Food That Feels Like Home

With a deep love for flavour, family, and well-fed bellies, Nikki began crafting meals that were packed with nutrition and heart — the kind of dishes you’d proudly serve your loved ones. And people responded. Friends and family started placing regular orders. Then friends of friends. What began as a side passion quickly grew into a mission: to make mealtimes stress-free, satisfying, and full of love.

Cooked by Nikki was born.

We don’t just cook — we care. Every meal is prepared fresh using high-quality ingredients and time-tested recipes. No shortcuts. No preservatives. Just real food, frozen to lock in the flavour and goodness.

We’re here for busy parents who need a break, professionals who don’t have time to cook, students who crave a taste of home, and anyone who wants nourishing meals without the work.

Whether it’s our flavour-packed jollof rice, tender turkey stew, or our hearty family-friendly dishes, everything we make is designed to save you time without sacrificing taste or nutrition.
