MY MUM, MICHÈLE TAUGHT ME TO COOK... HER ITALIAN FATHER, EUGENE AND HER FRENCH MOTHER, NANCY TAUGHT HER.

ALWAYS INSANELY TASTY, NEVER NEAT. MUM MADE FOOD WITH LOVE, IT ALWAYS TASTED LIKE MAGIC TO ME.

  • THIS IS APPOLONIE CATTENEO, MY GREAT NONNA. SHE TAUGHT MY MUM'S FATHER, MY GRANDAD EUGENE TO COOK BACK HOME IN GENOA, THE HOME OF PESTO.

  • EUGENE MET NANCY. THEIR GREAT LOVE GREW AND FUSED THE FOOD OF ITALY & FRANCE TOGETHER IN MY FAMILY. HE SOON MOVED TO MARSEILLES TO BE WITH HER AND NOT LONG AFTER MY MUM, MICHÈLE WAS BORN.

  • TOGETHER, THEY TAUGHT MY MUM, MICHÈLE TO COOK.

  • GRANDPA WAS AN OLIVE OIL MAN. HE BUILT A BUSINESS THAT PRODUCED HUNDREDS & THOUSANDS OF LITERS THAT WOULD BE SHIPPED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

  • SO OVER MANY YEARS... HE BUILT IT IN MARSEILLE, AND IT RAN UNTIL HE DIED IN 1981

  • MANY FRENCH CHEFS USED THE BEST OLIVE OIL, THANKS TO HIM...

THANKS TO OUR SHARED ITALIAN AND FRENCH HERITAGE OUR WHOLE FAMILY SHARE A LOVE FOR GREAT FOOD

WHERE OUR FOOD IS SOURCED FROM, AND HOW TO CREATE GREAT FLAVOURS, WITH ULTRA FRESH, SUN-RIPENED INGERDIENTS. NEVER ULTRA PROCESSED AND NEVER ANY NASTIES

SO WHEN I WENT TO UNI. AND TRIED TO RECREATE THE FOOD I LOVED BACK HOME...

I HIT A WALL

...AFTER UNI. I WORKED IN CRAFT BEER AND SAW HOW EXCITED PEOPLE GOT ABOUT HEIGHTENED FLAVOURS

THE FLAVOUR-FRUSTRATION WOULD NOT LEAVE ME, N'OR THE FRUSTRATION AT THE FILLERS I FOUND IN THOSE JARS, SO I WENT TO BARCELONA FOR SOME FLAVOUR INSPIRATION. WE GOT COOKING, IDEATING AND CAME UP WITH TWO RECIPES... SAUCERER WAS BORN WITH THE GREEN ONE AND THE RED ONE. ONE WAS BETTER THAN THE OTHER BUT IT MADE US LEARN A LOT. SO WE DEVELOPED NEW RECIPES AND NOW...
