Lets Spice things up around here with Bim's Kitchen Traditional African Sauces-

    Trying new things is a novelty for me. Something that I've began to re-appreciate and enjoy once again. There is nothing better than trying something truly delicious and genuinely enjoying cooking and eating it. After having restricted my food and the things I ate so much for so long, I think I deserve to treat my body to try things that it wants and to give it proper 'nosh'.
I'm also really busy a lot of the time, so although I prefer to make my own sauces (as well as all the nasties stuck into a lot of jar sauces), finding this small family run business on the internet, their sauces were definitely something I felt I had to have a good crack at.

   Bim's Kitchen is a company created by husband and wife James Bim and Nicola Adedeji, and it creates BEAUTIFUL and interesting own recipe African inspired food products. All products are hand cooked using native ingredients which makes them not only authentic, but unlike anything I've tried before. Things like Baobab fruit, Alligator Pepper, Cubeb Flowers....If you had of mentioned these before I read about them on the website, you may as well have been speaking another language.

   Perfect for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free diets, the condiments, sauces and spices come in a variety of flavours ranging from spicy spicy (unbearable for people like me) to a lot more mild. When I got in touch with James, he kindly sent me tasters of -
  1. African Chilli Coconut Rellish
  2. African Baobab Chilli Jam
  3. Baobab Pepper Jam
  4. Peanut Curry Sauce
  5. Tomato and Cashew Curry Sauce
I want to give you readers an idea of how 'clean' and straight to the point these recipes are in fact. Take a gander at this minute list of ingredients.
''Main ingredients: onion, coconut, red chilli, garlic, tomato, lemon juice, tamari gluten-free soy sauce, alligator pepper''
Bam. That's it. I used my sauce samples to make a few things,
(Left to right Peanut Curry Crayfish and Sweet Potato, Boabab Pepper Jam Chicken with Homemade Pesto and finally Chilli Coconut marinated Salmon with Crepes).
