Hi, I’m Nicola Lando, and it was while working at a Michelin-starred kitchen in London that the importance of ingredient quality became painfully clear to me.

Finding the best producers is like a treasure hunt. A small family producer in Italy may make the most delightfully delicate olive oil, but because their expertise is olive oil making and not marketing, you may never hear about them.

And that’s a tragedy.

It’s what we’re fixing. Our team of 12 spends 8 hours a day foraging for and taste-testing the very best.

It’s how we earned over 28,000 five star customer reviews. Read more about Sous Chef >

Sous Chef is a highly reliable company that has always delivered quality products on time. It is my go-to online place for high-quality international ingredients and cookware. Their customer service is brilliant. On the two occasions where I have had problems they were immediately resolved without question or further cost. They have a knowledgeable team and a well organised and effective website. I wholeheartedly recommend Sous Chef as indispensable to amateur cooks like myself.

The service at Sous Chef is excellent. I am always amazed at how quickly orders are dispatched and next day service is great too when you need anything in a hurry. Great choice of things to buy too!

Love that it’s a family run business sourcing lots of unique and unusual products. Delivery was super speedy, and well packaged - the newspaper included in the box is a great addition.
