British stocks and sauces manufacturer, Essential Cuisine, have announced their pledge to eliminate black plastic from their range by Spring 2022. With 21 products, including best seller Premier Veal Jus, currently in black plastic, the pledge will see a projected removal of over 10 tonnes of the hard-to-recycle material. It is estimated that the UK sends more than one million tonnes of black plastics to landfill every year – largely because most Material Recycling Facilities (MRF’s) view them as contaminants which are expensive to recycle.*

At H2O Publishing’s first ever Road Test, barbecue pro, Ben Bartlett trialled Essential Cuisine’s Street Food Chef Seasonings. Spoiler alert, he was not disappointed…We know it’s not easy for pub chefs to always find the time to try out new products in their kitchens – hectic hours, menu favourites and seasonal fluctuations can dictate what ingredients are frequently used and when, so who has the time to trial the host of other options out there?

We’ve put more into our improved signature range, so you can get more out. To demonstrate the versatility of our improved range we have gathered our favourite applications utilising the freshest, seasonal ingredients. From Braised Lamb Shank to an Oriental Chicken Ramen, we are sure these ingredients will impress.

Time seems to move a little faster in the kitchen. When it comes to making quality stocks and sauce bases, this can be an extra pressure for many time-challenged chefs.Essential Cuisine’s improved, ready-to-use Signature range combines the highest quality ingredients they have been serving up for the last decade. Made using superior methods, including lengthening the cooking processes to create extraordinary depths of flavour; basically, putting in the extra time so you don’t have to.
