Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a bustling fish & chip restaurant in Penzance, Cornwall, needed to speed up preparation for their popular house-made garlic butter and tartar sauce without compromising on their well-loved flavours.
"We were going through boxes of fresh garlic a week, and the prep time was a real drain. The Cooks & Co puree gives us that authentic, strong flavour we need, but in seconds. It's been a massive help during the tourist season."
David Chen – Head Fryer
By switching to the KA065 garlic puree tub, they cut their daily sauce preparation time by 30 minutes, allowing staff to focus more on service during peak hours.

First Use & Storage

Making It Last
