My Secret Kitchen win the coveted 3 star gold at The Great Taste Awards

My Secret Kitchen are dancing round the pantry at the news that their Maple Caramel Sauce has won the top three gold star award. Imagine your favourite toffees made into pourable, liquid heaven – and made all the more delicious by a hint of warm maple syrup. That’s the reason for the success. To add to their joy, they also won a two gold star award for their Balsamic Reduction.

The Great Taste Awards, which is organised by the Guild of Fine Food and often referred to as the Oscars of the food industry, is this year celebrating its 15th anniversary and is the authoritative, independent standard for Britain’s fine food sector. The judging standards are the most rigorous in the UK. Every entry is blind tasted by teams of experts. By the time it earns gold, it will have been assessed by at least three different teams. This year’s judges include Alex James, farmer, journalist and bass player with Blur, Mark Hix, the chef’s chef, Charles Campion from Evening Standard & The Independent, Tom Parker-Bowles of UKTV Food’s Market Kitchen and national food journalist Fiona Sims.

My Secret Kitchen is the UK’s first food and drink tasting company. The big idea is that rather than invite people round to look at lingerie or sniff some scent, it would be great to invite them round for something they can REALLY enjoy - food

Phil Moran, co-founder of My Secret Kitchen said “ A lot of people who try our Maple Caramel Sauce at one of our tastings normally give us the verdict of “oooh” and “aaah” so it’s great to get the official three gold star approval from such a distinguished team of experts”
