About the team
Welcome to the SORTED crew... a genuine bunch of mates who've teamed up to run SORTED Food, an online cooking hub that aims to solve the foodie problems of their audience and to prove that you can have a bit of fun in the kitchen... cooking doesn't have to be so serious!
Watch the video to get an idea of how the whole adventure began and if you want to know more about the key members of the crew then click on the profile videos below... or following them on their fan pages on Facebook. Or how about keeping up to the minute by following the team on Twitter.
Remember, anyone can be part of the crew... simply subscribe and get involved... then we can all become SORTED!
The Crew never take it too seriously... in fact the SORTED crew is simply based around friends… they’ve known each other for what seems like forever. The lads grew up together and although all went to separate uni's to study a whole range of degrees have always stayed in touch.
The whole story kicked off a few years back - sat around a pub table... sharing recipes on beer mats. Ben, as a trained chef... was terrified by what his closest friends were eating. So would share the perfect student grub to get them away from takeaways and pot noodles.
As a photographer at the time Barry saw an opportunity to create and publish a cookbook crammed full of Ben's recipes and his creative work that would be perfect for students. A way in which the idea of social cooking with mates could be shared with a few more people. And they've never looked back. We put together a student cookbook (doing all the work ourselves) and then set out to share these recipes and the idea of social cooking with friends.
That's where the videos started. And YouTube became the perfect platform to share SORTED recipes with a larger audience... the world in fact. It didn't change what we did... we just did what we loved. And now, week after week we get the recipe requests and food dilemmas of our audience SORTED. Delivering quick, simple and tasty dishes, heavily seasoned with banter.
It's grown much faster than we'd imagined, but that's awesome because now it feels like we have friends scattered across the world and that we can all cook together. The beauty is that everybody can relate to food and it becomes a fantastic catalyst to conversation and meeting new people. We are able to invite others to come and cook in the SORTED kitchen, bringing their talent to share with us or we can go to them.
So get involved, get in the kitchen with your mates and get SORTED!
