Hi everyone, Most people know me as the chef behind HOSPREP. What many don’t know is that none of this would have been possible without my mum. In 1972, she arrived in the UK from Hong Kong with very little money and very little English. Life wasn’t easy. Then after my dad passed away in 1983, she carried on doing whatever she had to do to provide for our family. She worked multiple jobs, raised three children and kept going even when things were difficult. Growing up, I watched her work harder than anyone I knew. She never complained. And she never looked for shortcuts. At 74 years old, she’s still involved in the business. And somehow, despite not speaking much English, she manages to keep a very tight ship 🤪 The team all know her 😉 They know when she’s happy ☺️ And they definitely know when she’s not 😂 I’ve worked in kitchens for over 30 years, and I’ve learned that you don’t always need words to communicate. Sometimes a look is enough 👀 My mum has mastered that skill 😂 People often ask me what the best business advice I’ve ever received. It wasn’t from a business book. It wasn’t from a successful entrepreneur. It came from my mum. “Never forget the people who helped you when you had nothing.” That lesson has shaped my life and how I run HOSPREP. We try to look after our team. We appreciate our customers. So today I’d like to say thank you to everyone who’s has supported HOSPREP over the last 3 years. And the biggest THANK YOU to my mum. What’s the best advice your parents, grandparent or someone really important ever gave you? I’d love to hear it. Ricky HOSPREP

Ever wondered how we make our sauces at HOSPREP? 👀 It’s a little different from how I used to do things in a Chinese takeaway. When you’re producing thousands of calorie-controlled meals every week, consistency is everything. Same recipe. Same measurements. Same cooking process. Same taste. Every batch. Once cooked, the sauce is blended until smooth before being rapidly chilled, ready for the next stage of production. It might not be the glamorous side of meal prep 😂 but these are the processes behind every HOSPREP meal. 30 years as a Chinese chef… and I’m still learning better ways of doing things. HEALTHY CHINESE ANYONE? 🥢
