My Supper Hero was founded by good friends Myleene Klass and Jamie Barber. As an award winning restaurateur, Jamie loves to cook and has a huge bank of recipes up his sleeve. Myleene absolutely loves all things food, but loathes cooking. In 2021 they came together to found My Supper Hero. Their mission is to give people everything they need to Eat Brilliantly At Home.
We started talking about My Supper Hero in November 2020. Nine months of lockdown had given us both extreme kitchen fatigue. It wasn’t just the cooking that was wearing us down. It was the prospect of having to plan what to cook, day upon day, and then having to shop for the ingredients.
Even then, all the peeling, chopping, cooking and washing up was dominating our evenings, when we’d have much preferred to be chilling out watching Netflix with our families. The prospect of ordering uninspiring takeaways just did not appeal. Which got us thinking, “There has to be a better way”.
We had both tried various recipe boxes, but the recipes were all quite basic, the preparation was messy, boring and time consuming, and we felt uncomfortable not knowing where the ingredients came from. And don’t get us started on the packaging—one box came with twenty items of plastic!
The more Myleene and I talked about it, the more we knew we wanted to not only give people amazing food and the time to enjoy it. But we wanted to do it in a way that positively impacts both our communities and the planet.
And so My Supper Hero was born. Enjoy!
