A delivery has just arrived from Italy. And this is a very special one...​ ⭐Meet: Sous Chef's Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP ⭐
​
Our first-ever balsamic vinegar is made by a family who have been growing and pressing grapes for 17 generations.
​
We've become good friends, working closely to create a bottle that captures all the best bits of the finest balsamics we've tried and loved, over many years.

What makes Sous Chef's balsamic vinegar of Modena exceptional?
🍇Grapes ripen on the vine for as long as possible, to develop real raisin sweetness before they are harvested.
🍇It takes a full 24 hours to gently simmer the grape juice into 'grape must'. Such careful, gentle cooking means no hint of bitterness.
🍇Once reduced, the grape must is aged for at least 12 years in wooden barrels - to develop deep smoky oak flavours.

The result: rich glossy balsamic, with notes of prune, raisin, sherry, liquorice.

Order today, and be one of the first to taste it.

POV: you stumble across a tool which is GENUINELY innovative.

If you bake bread, you'll know the challenge: dough on your fingers; dough under your nails; dough left inside the mixing bowl... And, in the sink, wet dough that instantly coats (and completely ruins) every washing up sponge it touches...
​
DOAP changes everything. Yes, you'll never need to bin a sponge again!
​
Exclusive to Sous Chef (yippee!), DOAP is the reusable silicone 'soap' sponge bar that means you'll never chuck out a dough-coated kitchen sponge again. The flexible nubs easily lift sticky dough from hands and mixing bowls. Just water and a gentle scrubbing.

Our baking expert Kristin has been speaking to DOAP's Nashville creator Josh for months, securing the UK's first delivery. It's just arrived. "I'm SO excited about DOAP - I really think it's the next big thing in baking. In fact, I use it all the time, not just for dough. Muddy potatoes, stubborn washing up, whisks, bowls - everything. I've saved so many sponges already."

🥒 The Marc family grows, harvests, and pickles their fabulous cornichon cucumbers in Chemilly-sur-Yonne, Burgundy. They've done it the same way for over 70 years.

Today, Henri Jeannequin, is the third-generation cornichon grower. He has brought pickling in-house, creating a much shorter production chain. And re-claiming the French cornichon as an exceptional finished product.
​
The cornichons are grown without pesticides, then harvested by hand and jarred (without preservatives) in quality French vinegar. The result? Extraordinarily good gherkins! Clean and fresh-tasting, crunchy, sharp, sweet, bright, aromatic, fresh, tangy, juicy... trust us, once you open the jar they'll be gone in a flash!

Find them under New Arrivals at Sous Chef right now - enjoy!

New finds selected by professional cooks: premium pantry staples, speciality ingredients, and smart kitchen tools with trusted origins and outstanding quality.

Meet your summer BBQ secret: yuzu miso.

It's the most incredible combination of sweet-sharp-salty-savoury. Unbelievably good in a marinade for meaty fish before grilling, or simply loosened with a dash of rice vinegar for an incredible dressing over smoky grilled vegetables. A hidden gem from Sous Chef's many thousands of incredible flavours - and food editor Holly's top pick this week.

Liven up white fish and green vegetables with this yuzu miso. Umami-rich fermented barley, fragrant & citrussy yuzu and a hint of nutty sesame come together in one flavourful paste. Dilute with a little rice vinegar for a salad dressing that bursts with flavour or spread over chicken before cook...
