Somerset Foodie - ingredients to inspire real foodies

Think differently about food shopping...

You'll find artisan ingredients from all over the world, but also the best from the makers on our doorstep here in the West Country.

Our mission is to push for sustainable diversification within the food industry and support the independent food movement. We are an alternative foodie shopping experience to the price-driven, big gun supermarkets.

We offset our carbon footprint by making deliveries in our 100% Electric ZERO EMISSION van and packing all our raw wholefood ingredients in 100% compostable wood-pulp bags with biodegradable paper labels.

Ben's recipes and inspiration

Chicken Kebab with Hot Sauce and Garlic Sauce

The Kebab Club was set up by a husband-and-wife team who are on a mission to bring authentic Turkish flavours to foodie cooks in the UK. Here we've tried out their Chicken Shish Marinade along with their hot sauce and garlic sauce.....the full kebab shop experience!

Spanish Fabada Asturiana

Fabada hails from the Asturias region of Northern Spain and is the most heavenly combination of butter beans with pork, smoked chorizo, smoked black pudding and pancetta, cooked in chicken stock with plenty of garlic, onion and a touch of saffron. It's a bit like Spain's answer to Cassoulet and the perfect antidote to cold, wet weather.

Beef Rendang

An Indonesian street food classic and one of the tastiest dishes on the planet. Chunks of beef gently simmered in coconut milk with lemongrass, galangal, cardamom, cinnamon and lime leaves, the flavour combination is sensational. Unlike many other 'wet' curries, Rendang is cooked until most of the liquid has reduced, concentrating the flavours and making it super tasty.

Dan Dan Noodles

These addictively savoury noodles, laced with fiery chilli oil and fragrant, mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorns do require a reasonably well stocked Chinese larder, but are relatively straight forward to make and will quite possibly become a regular on your weekly menu.
