AJ's Home Cooking

Founded by Ashley and Jordan after a difficult start to 2025, when Ashley's mother Rebecca was diagnosed with cancer and Ashley's father Christian was rushed to hospital a day earlier. Professional carers could help with personal care but were not permitted to cook, and local takeaways and supermarket ready meals did not fit the bill. Batch cooking and freezing meals for the family became a lifeline, then a business run out of Exeter.

The model is straightforward: pre-cooked meals, frozen and delivered to your door, ready to reheat whenever suits. There is real thought about what goes into them, with options across a wide range of allergens and dietary requirements, which matters when you are ordering for someone else. Worth considering if you are juggling work, young children, caring duties or your own health, and the daily question of what's for dinner keeps landing badly.
