New York's high-priced retail real estate property has spawned a new type of Easy Meal Prep kitchen. Really Cool Foods calls it "Component Cooking", and the premise is simple. Customers come in, select a recipe, and then grab the colour-coded components. These component ingredients are combined for the final result, which takes twenty minutes or less.

The Component Cooking kitchen also serves as a high-end grocery store and delivery service, providing everything from organic oils and vinegars to gourmet baby food. The market is aimed at busy-but-affluent people who want to eat good, organic food and don't mind the extra cost.

This more urban concept suits the lifestyles of Yaletowners or Upper Easy Side New Yorkers, turning the June Cleaver Easy Meal Assembly idea on its head. Customize your business any way you like with EATS - check out our features.
