How it works
Double the people,
half the time
Each recipe is written with two clear roles. YOU is one person. ME is the other. YOU is typically written as a line cook role, while ME is more of a prep chef.
YOU
One person takes the role of ‘You’ with their own instructions and ingredients.
ME
The other takes the role of ‘me’ with their own instructions and ingredients.
US
Follow your set of directions until the recipe comes together with ‘us’
Cooking with a partner is not just about food; it's a bonding experience. Cook Together brings you closer through shared moments in the kitchen.
Cook Together is the ultimate culinary companion for couples and food lovers who want to create memorable cooking experiences together. It’s designed to encourage teamwork in the kitchen, deepen your connection, and reveal the joy of preparing delicious meals side by side. For anyone looking to cook these recipes solo, you’ll also find them in a traditional format for one cook.

Meet the author
Dorothy Woods is a chef, writer and nutritionist based in the UK, where she lives in Somerset with her family. Her interest in healthy eating began when she was diagnosed with celiac disease aged 14. This really brought home that the way we eat can be harmful to our bodies. But it also taught her that the opposite’s true too: the way we eat can also heal our bodies in amazing ways – and when you cook together with the people you love, it can create beautiful bonds between partners and families.
Before turning to teaching and writing she was a private chef for ten years, helping families and individuals overcome diet-related illnesses. She travelled the world with many of her clients, learning about different ingredients and cuisines along the way. She has achieved both a Cuisine Diploma and a Diploma in Gastronomy, Nutrition and Food Trends from Le Cordon Bleu and is a certified Institute for Integrative Nutrition coach.

Cook together is such a fun cook book for my family and makes a great gift couples and families. There are also single cook versions of the delicious and thoughtful recipes for when I am cooking alone. Its a beautiful book!

I am so obsessed with this cookbook and have now given copies to everyone I know and love. This is the most brilliant format that solves the age old problem of cooking together by breaking recipes into two distinct parts, which come together in the end in perfect harmony and deliciousness. I LOVE that this cookbook happens to be entirely gluten-free and is veggie forward and healthy without ever feeling restricted. The meals are bright, flavorful and filling and leave you feeling light and in love with the person you made them with. The perfect date night, friend date, or sweet activity with a parent, this book is the kitchen tool I didn't know I'd been missing all these years.

This is the perfect cookbook to get couples cooking together. And 'together' is what transforms cooking from a drudgery into an adventure. Our fist foray into cooking together was the recipe for Perfect Paella, and the results were absolutely perfect. Thank you!

This is my third order of this great book! I just keep thinking of more and more people who would LOVE to have a copy! It makes such a great gift - always appreciated. It is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

My partner is a much better cook than I am. So, I end up "helping out". We tried a recipe together and it was great fun. We each did our part, dancing around each other in the kitchen. And combining them at the end was so satisfying. And it was good! Warmly recommended

Such a fabulous book to make Cooking fun with a partner/friend! I bought one book for me and one as a gift!
Debbie W
I cook so much more often with my boyfriend now that we have this book! We’ve tried pre- prepped meal subscriptions but one of us always ends up doing the whole thing which usually causes conflict. With this cookbook we can still buy locally and it’s like a built-in date night.
Terri
The whole concept of this book is just brilliant. Loads of great recipes to choose from (the black bean burger is insane) and splitting the recipes in two really works. It’s fun, rewarding and makes cooking something you properly look forward to. Love it!
James P
I find the concept of having recipes specifically for two people to cook together simply fabulous. Making it easier and much more fun to cook with someone, it’s truly taking the experience to a different and more social level.
