The Details That Make the Difference
Great baking is an art, and every masterpiece is built on the quality of its components. This collection is for the baker who cares about every detail, from the richness of the chocolate to the purity of the vanilla. Here you'll find the essential ingredients to elevate your creations from good to great.
Discover our range of rich, raw cacao powders and decadent dark chocolate for an intense flavour that processed cocoa can't match. For authentic taste, we offer pure vanilla extracts and pastes. You'll also find pantry workhorses like aluminium-free bicarbonate of soda and specialty gluten-free thickeners like xanthan and guar gum.
To ensure a perfect finish every time, we also stock unbleached, eco-friendly parchment papers and baking cups. It's everything you need to perfect your next bake.
Ingredient function matters
Bicarbonate soda, baking powder, guar gum and xanthan gum are not interchangeable. PHGG fibre products are also different from ordinary cooking guar gum. Read the precise ingredient name and preparation directions before substituting one item for another.
Can I use PHGG as a baking thickener?
Do not treat it as an equivalent substitute for ordinary guar gum. Use a recipe and ingredient specifically intended for the required baking function, and follow the selected product’s directions.
How should I compare packs?
Compare the same ingredient and selected weight, then consider storage and how frequently you bake. Check allergens and any additional ingredients in a blend.
