Achiote paste is an absolutely key ingredient that transformed my Mexican cooking when I discovered it. It's that hidden ingredient that you just can't identify in really authentic Mexican food.
Made out of Anneto seeds and a variety of spices, this deep red block of flavour needs to be blitzed down with sour orange juice, cinnamon, garlic, cumin seeds a few cloves, oregano and chilies to form a paste that can be used to marinade pork, chicken, fish and chunky vegetables. It's most famous for the dish Cochinita Pibil, a marinated and slow cook joint of pork.....it's heavenly and a must try.

Followed Ben's recipe for Cochinita Pibil (well kind of), by making the marinade (quartering the ingredients) and using on chicken fillets. The result was very tasty. Will definitely buy again.

First time making a Thai Green Curry with the Maesri green curry paste, the coconut milk, Thai Jasmine rice & sweet chilli sauce all sourced from yourselves. We were 8 people dining and I wanted something easy to prepare. I did a dummy run the week before and found the paste to be so flavoursome with a nice kick that suited me and my husband but decided to reduce the amount of paste used to tone down the spice a little bit to ensure it suited all palettes. The second time of cooking I actually made it the day before, slowly reheated the next day to avoid the coconut milk splitting and added precooked al dente green beans (substituted instead of the recommend eggplant) to heat through just before serving. It was absolutely delicious with very authentic flavour, one guest said it’s the best Thai curry he’s ever tasted and he’s 80! I’ve shared your company details so hope you get a few more customers - thank you for another go to dish 😊
I really enjoyed these peppers, they’re a nice reminder of pintxos in Bilbao. Very nice!
Pizza base, Mutti Tomato Polpa, Fior mozzarella ball and a tin of sardines all from Somerset Foodie with some olives and other oddments from home enabled my grandchildren (who are pizza connoisseurs!) my daughter and I to have the most delicious pizzas over Easter. We each chose our own toppings and creative designs - completely delicious and very satisfying! Half a pizza is a generous portion by the way… so I still have 3 bases in the freezer! Thank you Ben
Excellent olives quickly dispatched. Great service… Yum
