FANCY A TREAT? TRY MY HEAT!
I love food. I love cooking. Along with music, food is the greatest thing on the planet. What better way to evoke the senses, than with the aroma, sight & taste of delicious food. It really is the BEST!
I love heat in my food but find that so many sauces destroy the dish. Why put something on your food that masks the taste and causes physical discomfort? I want to taste my food as well as enjoy the heat.
The year is 2020 and Covid has changed the world. I was out of work during lockdown and had a lot of time on my hands. One of the activities that kept me sane during this period was cooking. The Facebook Group, "What's For Dinner In Dubai" was a great source of comfort, motivation and inspiration and pushed me to up my cooking game.
I spent every day cooking, trying new dishes and perfecting old ones. It really was great therapy and saved me during this time.
Seeing the success of 2 fellow hot sauce lovers, inspired me to try my own hot sauce. Inspired by my Trini roots I wanted to create a range of hot sauces that had the feel of the Caribbean but with its own identity. Apart from the normal store-bought brands, there aren't any decent Caribbean products out here.
So I went to work trying different recipes. I contacted my cousin in Trinidad for her recipe but as the ingredients differ, it was hard to achieve the results I wanted. 6 months of cooking, sending samples to friends, sending samples to strangers, collating feedback and 9 recipes later, I hit the nail on the head.
Flavour has been the driving force during the creative process. How can we create a sauce that enhances your food and doesn't ruin it? I'm happy to say that I think we cracked it with the perfect balance of flavour & heat.
Don't take my word for it though. Try for yourself. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.
October 2023 and I was introduced to Kenny, through my friend Zukey. Kenny was one half of Ben's Farmhouse, a business I was familiar with and one that had big plans for the future.
We scheduled a round of golf (which I had only ever played once, 30 years previously) My #1 fear was not being able to hit the ball, however I managed to get round and win a hole or two.
It was over the post-golf curry that I pitched my vision for the brand and soon enough, I had an offer to partner with Ben's Farmhouse. For me, the knowledge, experience and infrastructure was a deciding factor on embarking on the next stage of this wonderful journey.
