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 >

Impecabble service, as always, with thought-provoking products that have enhanced my approach to cooking, including amazing seasonings (e.g. Terre Exotique), fabulous stocks (Essential Cuisine) & the best bread knife that I have ever handled (Opinel).

Sous Chef are very responsible vendors. They ship out quickly and their goods are of the highest quality. The main problem is dipping into the online catalogue. I always want to buy something 😁
