A year ago today we launched Cookstarter, a nationwide search for the UK\u2019s favourite independent restaurants to support them when they needed it most.<\/p>\n<p>We expected to hear from passionate food lovers. Little did we know, we\u2019d receive 15,000 heartwarming nominations for restaurants from every corner of the country.<\/p>\n<p>After a careful selection process, the public voted for their five Cookstarter finalists: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baitydidsbury.co.uk\/\"><b>Baity Palestinian Kitchen in Manchester<\/b><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lapantera.co.uk\/\"><b>La Pantera in Cardiff<\/b><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcandsonslondon.com\/\"><b>Mc and Sons in London<\/b><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noyaskitchen.co.uk\/\"><b>Noya\u2019s Kitchen in Bath<\/b><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Scott-Wilson-415562158986957\/\"><b>Scott and Wilson in North Shields<\/b><\/a>.

Gousto customers also got a taste, as a version of the winners\u2019 signature dishes were made available to order on our menu.<\/p>\n<p>The Cookstarter mentoring programme was a chance to receive some of our secret recipes for success. From online marketing, to photography, finance and social media, the winners gained exclusive access to masterclasses from experts across Gousto, arming them with tools to thrive after lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, every great restaurant experience deserves a tip. Teaming up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearetipjar.com\/\"><b>TipJAR<\/b><\/a> meant customers could tip their finalists directly after tucking into their dishes from home.<\/p>\n<p>On our first Cookstarter anniversary, we wanted to take time to celebrate our winning restaurants and their experience of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16406\" src=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/baity-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3957\" height=\"5936\" \/>Baity Palestinian Kitchen, Manchester<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Translated as \u2018my home\u2019 in Arabic, Baity was the first authentic Palestinian restaurant in the North West.

Thanks to the Cookstarter campaign, we have been able to increase all salaries at Baity and are in the process of opening a second location. The win gave me a massive boost of morale, when it was very much needed\u201d Ali Yousef, owner of Baity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16407\" src=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Outside-Resturant.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1600\" \/>La Pantera, Cardiff<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Despite opening just weeks before the pandemic, La Pantera in Cardiff, \u201cthe home of the inauthentic taco\u201d quickly gained taco fans throughout Cardiff and beyond, with the addition of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/recipes\/la-panteras-chorizo-feta-parmentier-potato-tacos\">Chorizo, Feta &amp; Parmentier Potato Tacos<\/a> to the Gousto menu.

Each mentor took time to consider how their knowledge and experience could translate to a small independent restaurant setting, with practical, usable tips that we have already started to implement. We particularly valued the sessions on brand, photography and finance which helped to cement ideas and gave us confidence to run with them in 2022.\u201d Noya &amp; Daniel, owners of Noya\u2019s Kitchen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16410\" src=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/McSons-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1181\" height=\"961\" \/>Mc &amp; Sons, London<\/b><\/p>\n<p>London-based Mc &amp; Sons, is a traditional old Irish pub that serves authentic Thai cuisine.
