All the SF and ingredients are curated by Ben and Alice - don’t expect a choice of six different brands of sesame oil (say), expect the one Ben loves and that’s on the shelf in his own kitchen. So many of the items stocked have a story behind them. The recipes on the site are well worth a look - achievable recipes for a busy life that deliver big on flavour. My favourites are the different White Mausu sauces - give everything a good bit of zing, the Don Bicarte Anchovies and of course Tajin.
We specifically bought the Shaoxing Wine to use an ingredient for making crab and sweet corn soup. The wine certainly added to the finish flavour of the soup. Excellent production.
Thank you Ben and Alice for introducing yet another great drop to your range.

These radishes were crisp with a little fiery kick. Really nice in sandwiches or on the side of strong cheese or with Asian dishes

Thank you so much Max - that's really heartwarming to hear. We spent a long time pulling our Somerset Foodie Gift boxes together, carefully curating the ingredients and choosing the books. Only the best from Ben! Really appreciate your kind words. Thanks for being a fab customer.
