Notes to Editors:

Verycook was founded in 2011 by a young, award winning entrepreneur, Alexandre Carre. The Verycook founder had experienced Plancha cooking during a trip to Spain many years earlier and first imported Spanish Planchas to sell in France. Demand for this healthier and versatile style of barbecuing was such that Alexandre realised there was a market in France, and he developed Verycook working with specialist French companies. Verycook retails in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Sweden and the UK. Alexandre is a driven businessman with a passion for outdoor dining and a refreshing approach. The online Verycook community shares tips and advice on plancha grilling as well as a growing bank of delicious recipes. The company continues to develop creative products and has Verycook Ambassadors and professional chefs Rachel Allen, Cornelia Poletto and Yayo Daporta supporting its brand.
