Bowl food is such a great way to build flavour and texture to mealtimes and this inspiring book by Pippa Middlehurst tells the story of building a bowl from bottom up - with seasonings and sauces, crunchy bits and aromatics, fresh herbs and toppings. It's packed full of accessible recipes that use these building blocks to maximize the powder of ingredients.
Bowls and Broths - Book by Pippa Middlehurst
In this foodie ingredients gift box, we have included a few of the key ingredients that Pippa uses in many of her recipes:
Shaoxing Rice Wine 600ml
Shaoxing rice wine is a key ingredient in many Chinese dishes. Just like Western cooking uses red or white wine, Shaoxing Wine adds depth and complexity to your dishes. You can use the amber coloured wine in stir-fries, marinades, sauces and braised dishes.
Chinkiang Black Rice Vinegar 550ml
Black Rice Vinegar has a wonderful complex flavour. It's slightly smoky, slightly sweet with a sharpness that lifts and accentuates flavours. Use it when making dipping sauces, braised meat dishes, in soups and broths.
Shimaya Instant Dashi Stock Powder, 8x5g
The key components of dashi are seaweed, dried fish and sometimes dried shiitake, all of which deliver huge amounts of umami. Whilst the process of making your own dashi is not difficult, it does take some time, so instant dashi stock is a really handy to have about.
LaoGanMa Crispy Chilli Oil 210g
Serve this delicious chilli oil as a condiment with noodle or rice dishes, drizzle it into soups and ramen dishes, use as a dipping sauce, just about anywhere. It's packed full and crispy chilli flakes and onion.
Sichuan Peppercorns 30g
Sichuan Pepper - sometimes spelt Szechuan - is named after the province in the South West of China and is one of the most popular cuisines in the country. The region is well known for hot and spicy food, which often combines hot chillies and these aromatic, fragrant, slightly mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorns.

I was looking for a specific item that was hard to find, and Somerset Foodie stocked it, and so much more! Great find, will be back!
The experience of a Foodie discussion with Ben about how to use his distinctive ingredients is something I really value about dropping in at Somerset Foodies.
Service is excellent, the products are great quality and speedy delivery. I will definitely be shopping with Somerset foodie again
Best chicken stock EVER!
They are absolutely delicious and Ben recommends having them with his mayonnaise mixed with his Chipotle sauce, which makes them irresistible.
