Extensive online supermarket aimed mainly at higher class restaurants, started in 2012 by husband and wife team Nicola and Nick who have built it into an awesome resource, all served up with a little journalistic flair and recipes. If it ain’t fresh, they seem to have it all. The opening come-on might offer mooncakes, cactus glasses or jars of London honey for £11.99. There are 762 (at last search) olive oil products, 210 mustards, 48 balsamics and a passable recipe section if you need diversion.
Cookware, knives, bowls and a whole spread of ingredients cover most ethnic cuisines. There is even molecular flavour spheres made from seaweed algae designed in France by Christine Le Tennier to make your cocktails go pop (or for the more adventurous there is a line of abalone rillettes with dulse, ginger and combava (kaffir lime). Free delivery on orders over £60 or next day for orders over £100. Rather more interesting than Ocado or Tesco. Not all food, as they say, is created equal.
