"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change." Darwin

These are tough and worrying times. eh?  I do hope you, your family and friends are doing ok. 

Like you I'm sure, we have had the most surreal and roller coaster like week!  These are unprecedented times and as a business we have needed to think and act fast-who would ever have predicted this one?! 

It's hard to know how this will all play out, but we're not going to be beaten!  We have turned this situation around so far and found a positive way to move forward.  It is this attitude that is going to keep Cook Stars striving forwards and as strong as ever.  

We are adapting, evolving, meeting tricky situations head and absolutely not retreating.  We will be coming out a little bruised and battered (very few business will be left entirely unscathed) but we are not aiming to come out just 'ok', we WILL be coming out the other side even stronger. 

For the team, we made a plan a few weeks back in preparation for these days.  We knew there would be a point where our franchisees had no choice but to stop their sessions.  Some of the team have provided 'class parcels' in advance to their children!  This meant that this week and next, they can host online cookery classes for them.  The children are loving this so far!  Their little parcels contain ingredients, a tin to cook the dishes in, a craft activity and a recipe card....it's gone down very well as you can imagine.  I know I would love it!  The teams customers are really thrilled at our extra level of service to them.  Our customers really matter to us, and we'll do everything we can for them and now is no exception.     

Our latest plan is that I have started a Facebook group which offers free cooking sessions for people to do in their own home!  The idea is to keep up morale and also to keep in front of our customers - and indeed anyone else who wants to join in.  

I am adding cooking session videos every other day and cooking a variety of simple child friendly dishes.  In less than 48 hours we have over 5,300 followers!  It is proving a real hit 😊  If you'd like to join in you are so welcome!  

We have also set up a You Tube channel too where all the videos can be found too - so you are very welcome to join that too.  

If you have children hopefully they will enjoy cooking along with them!  There are more details in the group if you'd like to find out more.

Things are going to be a bit strange for a while, but I thought you might like to hear about this for this weeks e mail.  It's a bit of fun which I think we all need right now. 

   I hope this helps brighten up your day a little ðŸ˜Š

Take good care and stay safe and well.
