Let us inspire you and feed your love for cooking
We aim to inspire and feed your love for cooking and we are very excited to announce the launch of our “Get Cooking at Home” video series as well as some new services to make your shopping easier.
Get Cooking at Home |
Gift Boxes for Food Lovers |
 |
 |
| While we have had to postpone cooking school classes for the time being, we’ve worked hard to find new ways to adapt and feed your passion for cooking. We are very happy to share with you our “Get Cooking at Home” video series developed and presented by Nadia Montebelli, our Cooking School Coordinator.
Through these videos, we’ll share with you some kitchen skills, techniques and easy recipes to inspire you to create something delicious and nutritious for those around you. Click here to discover more. |
If you are looking to inspire this Christmas, our range of ready-made gift boxes starts at $65 or you can create your own custom gift box filled with quality ingredients gathered from around the world.
We also work with companies to create personalised, beautifully presented gift boxes whatever the brief or the budget. Click here to view our ready-made gift boxes, or visit our stores in Prahran or South Melbourne. |
Knife Sharpening |
Wholesale |
 |
 |
| Knives are one of the most important tools in a kitchen, arguably second only to the stove. Choosing the right type of knife for you is crucial. If you need help buying your first knife, increasing your collection or getting some tips on how to care for your knives, visit our Prahran store and speak to one of our experts. We offer a knife sharpening service every first Thursday each month. Bring your knives in before 3 pm and they’ll be ready for collection after 12 noon on Friday. | The Essential Ingredient Prahran’s wholesale arm has been servicing Victoria’s cafes, restaurants & other great venues for well over twenty years and is widely considered to hold expert knowledge of the world’s best single ingredients.
