FoodSt is a very cool concept that’s basically a marketplace for cooks to sell their homemade meals. It was originally launched by a mum of two who was working full time with two little kids and struggling to do it all. 

So, the founder decided she wanted to connect home-cooks with time-poor people. Now, there are 36 home-cooks on the books with more than 100 different meals on offer, with dumplings, goulash and beef rendang. These meals are cooked in small batches weekly before they are picked up and brought to FoodSt’s headquarters.

You can choose meals for 1 or 2, family meals or small bites. You can even filter your cooking method from microwave to oven or stovetop, as well as filter by cuisine, or by protein, or by diet like gluten-sensitive, dairy-sensitive or vegan.
