PASSION OF A FAMILY BUSINESS<\/h1>\n

As an authentic Belgian family business, we have grown into a respected producer of convenience products for the food service industry. Smiling Cook was founded decades ago by brothers Bart and Jan Coninx. After gaining experience as chefs in various hospitality establishments, both brothers discovered something unique: the convenience of fresh frozen pasta. The Smiling Cook was established with a simple mission: to provide quality solutions for all foodservice entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
