The Housebites Pretend You Cooked service is made for people who love to host but hate to cook. Since takeout can be considered taboo when it comes to inviting guests over for a home-cooked meal, this unique service allows people to, well, pretend as though they are offering just that. Having already revolutionized the idea of take away food by creating a gourmet menu cooked by certified chefs, they have now introduced another feature that allows dirty cookware to be delivered as well so that guests will see proof of the 'home-cooked' meal.
Creative and clever, the Housebites Pretend You Cooked service was inspired by customer requests over Twitter and Facebook. For an extra £5, the cookware can be borrowed with a possible £2.50 refund for those who wash up before giving them back. Unfortunately, the service is based in the UK.
