Our blog

We are here to continue delivering valuable insight and recipe inspiration to inspire your working kitchen. Our Marketing Team and Development Chefs work hand in hand to collate mouth-watering recipes every week. This week we are focusing on Italian cuisine, a much-loved favourite across the UK and a trend that has rarely seen a decline in popularity. In 2019 it was officially declared the most popular cuisine in the world (Independent, 2019).

Whether you are looking to expand your current street food offerings or introduce global influences to your menu, tacos are a great option this spring / summer! The filling combinations are endless, let us inspire your creativity with our top 10 taco recipes… all developed in-house by our talented development chefs.

Proudly partnered with Love British Food, we are passionate about encouraging chefs and consumers to source local, seasonal ingredients due to the retained freshness and nutritional benefits. We have selected a number of recipes to help you utilise in-season ingredients this April, proving just how versatile, tasty and cost effective local produce can be.

At Essential Cuisine, we are all about celebrating chefs. We’ve always thought that there’s something special about chefs - their passion, their creativity, their resilience and natural ability to adapt to every circumstance imaginable. During the course of the pandemic, we have shared some incredible stories from chefs across the industry and today, we’d like to give Tracy Buggins a special mention.
