Quality Stocks, Sauces & Seasonings For Chefs

Essential Cuisine continue to support young people in our industry by supporting many competitions, it gives youngsters great encouragement.
I can’t thank them enough for all the support you have given our business.

It’s the best range of readymade stocks I’ve found, you just need to know how to use them correctly to maximise on their versatility. As a company, I can’t fault Essential, plus, being Cheshire-based, they are local to me and can offer that more personable approach.

When you are a chef, you can judge whether something’s good or not and these are fantastic products that enhance what you are doing. They are the best of their kind on the market and I would personally recommend them.

We use Essential Cuisine’s stocks, mainly chicken stock, beef stock, vegetable stock and fish stock, in everything from coq au vin and hoi sin sauce for sticky pork belly and Chinese noodles through to vegetarian aubergine and courgette Goan curry.

No1 Savoury Gravy is our go to product when it comes to sauces, it has great flavour and colour and finishes our sauces off perfectly. It’s also suitable for vegans and is completely gluten free which really helps when writing recipes for the pubs.

We use the Vegan stock range in most of our stocks and sauces in our Halal and non-Halal kitchens. For our Halal customer’s the range adds deep authentic meat flavours to their dishes without meat based products being used. We use the range in the traditional way, but we also use it in marinades and rubs for different meat dishes. Using it on daily basis you would find it hard to distinguish the vegan range from the regular Stock mix range.
