Dragon's Den comes to Tesco.com

Look out for Dragon's Den on BBC2 at 9pm this Sunday. It will feature Deborah Meaden who recently visited us to film Dragon's Den winner Carol Savage, founder of MyDish.co.uk, as part of a new partnership deal with Tesco.com.

The MyDish website enables customers to upload and share their own recipes and the new deal means that MyDish users can now order all the ingredients they need in just a few clicks from Tesco.com. The MyDish team have used our very own grocery API to achieve the connection between their site and our grocery service.

In addition, the MyDish technology is now included in our Real Food site so that customers can upload and share recipes, with the option to order the recipe ingredients from Tesco.com while they're online.

You can check out customer recipes on Real Food by clicking here.

Post a Comment

As this blog grows in readership - and because it carries the Tesco brand - I have had to become more careful about the sort of comments that are acceptable. The good news is that I'm a champion of free speech so please be as praising or as critical as you wish! The only comments I DON'T allow through are:

1. Comments which criticise an individual other than myself, or are critical of an organisation other than Tesco. This is simply because they cannot defend themselves so is unfair and possibly libellous. Comments about some aspect of Tesco being better/worse than another equivalent organisation are allowed as long as you start by saying "in my personal opinion.." or "I think that...". ... followed by a "...because.." and some reasoned argument.

2. Comments which are totally unrelated to the context of the original article. If I have written about a mobile app and you start complaining about the price of potatoes then your comment isn't going stay for long!

3. Advertising / web links / spam.

4. Insulting / obscene messages.


Ok, rules done - now it's your go:
