MyDish Recipe Site – As seen on Dragons Den

Last nights Dragon’s Den saw Carol Savage pitch her online community for food lovers to the Dragons and was after £100,000 for a 10% stake in her MyDish website.

MyDish is all about sharing recipes with friends and family, through a community of like minded people – think of it as a Facebook for Foodies….Facecook?

Carol pitched well to the Dragons’ despite getting grilled, if you’ll excuse the pun, from some Peter Jones, Duncan Bannatyne and James Caan.

The MyDish site has some great functionality, including being able to send ingredients through to Ocado much like the MySupermarket site.

The only female in the Dragons Den, Deborah Meaden, had been quiet throughout the pitch which is normally a good sign and wanted to know about the MyDish website.

Although the MyDish site had a high cost in dveloping and marketing etc, as well as spending over £20,000 per month, Deborah put in an offer to investment in MyDish.co.uk

Deborah Meadon decided to offer the full £100,000 but wanted an increased equity stake of 15%.  Theo also liked the idea of the MyDish site and concept and also offered another £100,000 for the same equity stake.

Whilst it was a tempting offer, Carol from MyDish decided to go with the single Dragon and chose Deborah Meaden.

We wish Carol and the MyDish.co.uk site all the very best for the future.

Food for Thought Lunchbox – As seen on Dragon’s Den

The Food For Thought Lunchbox from Concentrate Design was featured on the series 5 of BBC2’s Dragons Den series and was warmly received by the Dragons.

As seen on Dragons Den, Designer Mark Champkins presented his pitch really well and showed off his ‘Food for Thought’ lunchbox, which allows space for fruit in the lunchbox and enables them to be stored safely, so they’re not bruised or rolling around the lunchbox.

The Food for Thought healthy lunchbox makes it easy to get kids to eat healthier and switch from sugary lunch treats to natural fruit snacks, as they’ll see it as a ‘cool lunchbox’.  Mark’s innovative lunch box design protects fruit from being damaged and the colourful fruit pots add excitement to normally “uncool” fruits. There is even a Thermo-spot on the back of the lunch box that tells if your lunch is really cool or not.

Included with the Food for Thought lunch box are additional small pods to carry raisins, grapes, seeds etc, giving you an all round balanced lunch.  The Food for Thought Lunchbox is dishwasher safe, FDA food safe and is innovately designed.

Awarded as Best Product of 2007, by the Design Museum in London, the Food for Thought lunchbox is available for the just £9.99 with free delivery.
