We've worked with Monica Chia, owner of independent business Karimix for many years. I've been supplying her amazing pastes and sauces to chefs in hotels and restaurants all over the UK. This is a fab independent food manufacturer based in Kent. Monica's skill is bringing the traditional aromas and vibrant flavours of South-East Asia and beyond, straight into your kitchen.

The creation of Karimix recipes are greatly influenced by Monica's unique mixed heritage - a Peranakan, who originates from Singapore, a melting pot of Far and South-East Asian cultures and fusion cuisine. Relishes, chutneys, curry pastes, marinades, soups, sauces and condiments - each one an imaginative flavour fusion. 

"Educated in the UK and encouraged to travel extensively from a very young age, I have always been drawn to local markets and cuisines, fascinated with local ingredients, cooking techniques, flavours and culture."

We absolutely love every single one of Monica's pastes and sauces. They are as good as you could possibly create from scratch in your own kitchen using the raw ingredients and the dishes you'll make using them take a fraction of the time as a result.
