So you were cooking the meals and preparing the food, boxing it up and delivering it.

I developed the first kind of 40, 50 gusto recipes.

Did you?

They're all blacklisted now, I think.

I tell the team for supply chain reasons, but I mean, in fairness, the chefs are much better today.

So that's the reason.

Oh, that's a shame.

You should have one signature recipe.

I think so.

I think you should go back there and get one back in.

So you started doing this.

So how did you get your first order?

How did you tell people this was a possibility?

Purely hustling.

We went to the train station, handed out flyers, begged people to try.

And every weekend I would go to food festivals with a pestle and mortar.

making kind of samples of how our amazing um pesto would taste right and you're doing this for 10 hours and trying to chat up people and say would you like to try this here's a flyer this is amazing we changed your life um yeah i mean you know we had initially we might have had two customers five customers seven customers

And you would take the boxes.

And then I would hand deliver to these customers in Oxford and London.

So I would take these boxes on the train to Oxford back home and then hand deliver in Oxford.
