Food stylist and chef Laura Hardy-Rochester thought she was just doing her bit for family when she started providing her granny with ready meals during lockdown. But her homecooked heat and eat dishes went down so well, she has launched Kooked North ready meals business. Based in Wooler, Laura is now preparing some 350 meals per week using lamb from Ingram Valley Farm, beef from JM Strother & Son, pork from The Rolling Pig, potatoes from Particularly Good Potatoes and vegetables from her own garden.
Laura prepares and freezes the meals in Wooler before packaging each with heating instructions. You can find details on social media and a Kooked North website will be launched this autumn.
