Restaurant Associates Partners With Cook For Good

We are proud to partner with Cook for Good to bring a range of delicious, seasonal soups to menus across their sites. For every portion sold, 50p will be donated to Cook for Good – a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to make a difference.

The goal is to raise funds for this social enterprise while offering great-tasting, nutritious soups. It is a simple way for guests to enjoy their meal while contributing to a good cause.

Cook for Good does incredible work in the community. Based in King’s Cross, London, it runs programmes to connect local residents and businesses. These include a soup café, food pantry, cookery classes, and community meals—all funded by team-building events and corporate partners.

We are proud to have supported Cook for Good since 2022 with chef Dan Batten teaching many of their residents essential cooking skills as well as supporting their new Soup for Good recipe book. The book features 50 soups, many of which, are Pantry favourites, with others donated by well-known cooks like Nigella Lawson, and sponsors, including our own Restaurant Associates chef.

Adam Thomason, our Culinary Director had this to say about the new partnership:

"The Soup for Good book has been an inspiring project. It shines a light on seasonal vegetables and reducing food waste, which are key to today’s culinary world. Our chefs have contributed a recipe full of flavour, nutrition, and creativity. It’s wonderful to now bring these soups to our guests. Every portion sold supports a fantastic cause while delivering a great dining experience. It’s food with purpose."

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Restaurant Associates to bring our gorgeous Soup for Good soups to their restaurants. We know that sitting together to share a warm, nourishing bowl of food really brings people together; it’s at the heart of what we do at Cook for Good, through our food pantry and community kitchen. And as Restaurant Associates are giving us a donation for every soup sold, we’ll be able to work even harder to tackle food insecurity and social isolation.” Karen Mattison, CEO, Cook for Good.
