I’ve always believed that the small things we do every day can add up to something big. It’s a philosophy that’s woven into everything we do here at Cooks Who Feed. And it’s funny, but I think the humble tote bag might be one of the best examples of this. It’s more than just a bag to haul your groceries. It’s a choice. It's a statement. This is my personal guide to choosing a tote that not only carries your things but also carries a story of hope, empowerment, and real, tangible change.

I've lost count of the times I've seen a guy juggling a laptop bag, a separate lunch bag, and maybe even a gym duffel, all while trying to grab a coffee. It always struck me that there had to be a better way. The solution isn't another hyper-specific bag; it's a simpler, smarter one. This is my take on why a great tote bag isn't just a trend—it's the most practical, versatile, and impactful bag a man can own. It’s about carrying what you need, with a story you can be proud of.

For our mission to work, the apron itself had to be exceptional. It couldn't just do good; it had to be good. It needed to be the kind of apron a professional chef would choose to wear for a 12-hour shift, and the kind a home cook would cherish for years. Through our work with some of the world's most acclaimed chefs, we've learned exactly what separates an average apron from a truly professional one. It comes down to a few key features that are thoughtfully designed to improve comfort, efficiency, and durability. Here are the five most important things to look for when choosing an apron for your own kitchen.

Whether you’re a seasoned home chef, a weekend baker, or just someone who loves to gather people around the table, the apron is your trusted uniform. But what if it could be more? I truly believe an apron should not only be durable, functional, and beautiful, it should be a force for good. That’s why we’ve built our company on a simple promise: every handcrafted apron we sell provides 100 meals to people facing hunger and supports fair-wage employment for marginalized women in India. This guide is my personal walkthrough of everything you need to know to find the perfect apron, one you’ll love to wear, knowing it makes a real difference.
