Product Recommendations

When you’ve been in the kitchen for the best part of 20 years,

your cooking and baking skills evolve. The real education for me hasn’t only been about using the right ingredients but also the right equipment. Whether it’s for convenience or a conscious effort to adopt new cooking method, I want you all to benefit from my experiences and the products I use.

In this section I have listed the companies I purchase products / equipment / Ingredients from so that you too can buy directly from the same businesses. Furthermore, I’ve added other recommendations to inspire you with the lifestyle choices I make, the Islamic brands I particularly love to support and the products I like. I hope you enjoy my recommendations.

FOOD

As a Muslim baker, one of the most challenging things for me is finding good quality, halal vanilla extract which I often used to replace real vanilla due to the extortionate cost! That was until I came across YG International, who sell quality foods including A grade, B grade and Red Vanilla, Vanilla cuts and Powder. They work directly with farmers in Madagascar and the Comoros Islands allowing you to purchase the best quality vanilla at a fraction of the cost & ensure that all their products are halal.
