Unlike many food company founders, Niyi Olopade wasn’t a chef. In fact, Novice Kitchen was born out of his lack of culinary skills. Niyi grew up in Nigeria and, on moving to Britain, found he missed certain intensities of flavour and spice but couldn’t recreate them. Years later, that need became the basis for Novice Kitchen - sauces to bring the flavours of the world to everyone.
Novice Kitchen are just as much about source and sauce. They shop for all of their ingredients at local markets and have a strong focus on sustainability - when it comes to their own ingredients and with the schemes they choose to support. After all, they say, sustainable agriculture is the only way food stories can keep on being told.
The global flavours of Novice Kitchen aren’t just delicious: the diversities of taste, ingredient and story are a reminder that food can truly unite us. We all need to eat and we all want to eat something good.
Why they are different:
Novice Kitchen’s sauces have been praised across the media and they are amassing a serious collection of Good Taste Awards too. When you take the lid off your bottle or jar, you’ll instantly know why.
Why they are kind:
Novice Kitchen donate a percentage of their annual profits to the Haller Foundation For Sustainable Change, an organisation who have spent the last 60 years helping people on small farms in arid landscapes use technology to farm sustainably and securely.
