Hi, I’m Nicola

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 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

What We're About

What We're About

We only stock what we love.

Every single hard-to-find ingredient, piece of cookware and kitchen equipment, or cooking gift has been tasted by our team of flavour fanatics. If it isn't great then we don't list it. Only 1 in 10 make it.

Authenticity.

You'll find the same international food at Sous Chef as in an Italian Deli, or Japanese Supermarket. Even the world's best extra virgin olive oils. Not the version that's been produced to be similar - but isn't quite what you remember from that favourite holiday.

We only buy direct from trusted producers.

Every aspect of our suppliers' storage, production and distribution is checked by us. So that you know you'll always receive safe, high quality food. We do not allow third party resellers on the website.
