Cooking.com was founded in 1998. The company was started by several coworkers and former employees of the The Disney Store in Glendale, CA. They have extensive expertise in the retail industry and enjoy the business of retail and were excited about the opportunities the internet created. Also, they all had a passion for creating a great company.
How did the creators pick cooking? The credit goes to one of their initial investors, Idea Lab. The companies team up with a cookbook publisher, and they pride themselves on having a perfect blend of cooking and retail knowledge to launch the best cooking website.
