We've done the thinking for you. With the Sous Chef cult ingredients cooking kit. You’ll find ingredients including Acquerello rice, lauded by Heston Blumenthal as the world’s best risotto rice, plus Perello olives that fly off the shelves as quickly as we can replace them. And Forvum Chardonnay vinegar, served not only at Thomas Keller’s French Laundry but also every Nobel Prize winners’ dinner.
Combine a little history lesson with your delicious French sweets. Mazet are a luxury French confectioner, and are best known for making the true and original ‘pralines’. Mazet have been producing pralines and chocolates from their workshop in Montargis since 1903. The recipe for their famous grilled and caramelised almonds has remained unchanged since its invention for the court of Louis XIII in 1636, and Mazet is now almost synonymous with this iconic French candy.
Replace the traditional 'bottle of whisky' with something a little different. The Ninki mini sake barrel is a smaller version of a komodaru or kazaridaru – a straw-wrapped sake barrel that is donated to Shinto shrines to make a decorative display for festivals and ceremonies.
Traditionally these barrels are empty, but thankfully this one isn’t! It contains premium ginjo sake – a high quality sake that is best enjoyed slightly chilled. The Ninki mini sake barrel makes a great gift for sake-lovers and Japanese culture enthusiasts.
Swap the classic box of chocolates for a truly delicious Italian sweet. The pistacchiotto are a Sicilian twist on the traditional Piemonte confection called ‘gianduiotto’, a treat from chocolate and hazelnut paste. Serve the pistacchiotto with an espresso or enjoy after dinner.
Reine Claude plums in liqueur are a great addition to crumbles, cobblers and steamed puddings. You can add them to cakes and puff pastry tarts or blend them to make a fruity sauce. Keep them in your store cupboard and serve with ice cream as a quick, delicious dessert.
Reine Claude plums, also known as greengage plums, are prized for their intense sweetness and subtle acidity. In France, they are often used to make tarts, galettes and clafoutis. These plums are soaked in a sweet syrup spiked with liqueur, which softens them and gives them a mellow boozy flavour.
The Ichendorf Milano bees tumbler is a quirky, colourful vessel for water or ice-cold sodas. Each glass features two bees in flight, with delicate wings and striped amber bodies. Mix and match them with other nature-inspired pieces for a table full of colour and natural beauty.
This tumbler is part of Ichendorf Milano’s Garden Picnic collection, inspired by the beauty of summer gardens. Each piece is designed to add colour and whimsy to your table.
Each Ichendorf Milano piece is hand-crafted, so you may notice some slight differences between glasses. But, this only adds to their charm – no two are the same!
The Karasuba-Iro Japanese ramen bowl set is the set for ramen obsessives!

Additional red-brown detailing, and white sweeps add to the elegance of the design. They are dishwasher safe. Each ramen bowl is imported from Japan, and carefully chosen with the perfect size and shape for ramen.
