Ever wondered where to get your hands on some fresh wasabi? Well The Wasabi Company delivers individual rhizomes of your chosen size to suit your dinner plans. They also deliver wasabi leaves, baby leaves, and wasabi flowers too. And best of all, all the wasabi is grown in the UK!
Pair this wasabi with their range of Japanese ingredients including award-winning traditional ponzu sauce, yuzu mayonnaise, yuzu soy sauce and even wasabi vodka! Their plants, products and accessories are available as gift packs too and would make a fabulous unique gift for any foodie.
I tried the fresh wasabi and loved the rich, deep flavour instilled in the freshly grated wasabi, which was significantly superior to the shop bought version.
The Wasabi Company is the ideal place for high-quality Asian-inspired ingredients, and of course, home-grown wasabi.
Best for Indian Spices: Spice Kitchen
Spice Kitchen is a family-owned artisanal spice and tea company run by mother and son team Sanjay and Shashi Aggarwal. Specialising in lovingly producing small-batch, freshly ground spices, I absolutely love their spice tins, which contain all the essential spices for a delicious Indian meal, and even come wrapped in a beautiful handmade silk sari wrap!
I have always found it difficult to find fresh ground spices, but Spice Kitchen’s hand-blend, hand-roasted and hand-ground spices are delivered straight to your door, with the option of buying individual spices to top up your spice tin too.
Best for BBQs: Smokey Carter
Inspired by Smokey’s travels around the world, Smokey Carter offers a range of international BBQ flavours, from the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Portugal and Greece.
The spice rubs, BBQ sauces, chilli jams and hot sauces are all handmade in Manchester and packed full of flavour. My favourite is the Louisiana Cajun BBQ Spice Rub and the Charcoal BBQ Spice Rub, both of which are perfect for marinating cuts of meat before a barbecue.
Best for Honey: Black Bee Honey
Every kitchen cupboard needs good honey, and the Black Bee is the perfect unblended, unpasteurised British Honey.
This award-winning honey is made by the black bees, a native British honey bee. After losing most of their natural habitat of woodlands and wildflower meadows the black bee has recently made a come-back and produce this delicious honey.
