Our Story | SERIOUSLY GOOD.

WELCOME

We’re glad you’re here to find out more about how Gordon Ramsay and Comic Relief got together to bring you a range of delicious Italian and Indian cooking sauces that support Comic Relief’s fantastic work. You could say it’s Seriously Good sauce for a Seriously Good cause.

So, how does it all work? Well, to give you a quick overview, if you buy one jar of Seriously Good sauce:

You now have in your culinary armoury a delicious cooking sauce, made from top ingredients, that’ll turn any dinnertime into a feast.
Comic Relief will receive at least 10p to fund life-changing projects.
Gordon won’t get a penny – but he’s happy with that.

THE INSPIRATION

The idea of developing a range of sauces was cooked up by Gordon Ramsay himself, following an inspirational trip to Tanzania for Comic Relief in 2002.

On this trip, Gordon, along with Lenny Henry, visited a project that cares for some of the African country’s street children. Gordon was so incredibly touched by what he saw there and the children he met that he decided he wanted to use his profile to help raise money for Comic Relief 365 days of the year.

The idea for Seriously Good sauces was born.

VIVA ITALIA!

Three years in development, the Seriously Good Italian range was created in Gordon’s kitchens and overseen by the man himself with support from his team of top chefs.

Top-quality Mediterranean inspired ingredients such as porcini mushrooms, 12-year-old balsamic vinegar and oven-roasted cherry tomatoes have been selected and combined by Gordon to produce rich, intense flavours that you will absolutely love.

All the sauces in the Seriously Good Italian range are cooked using a slow, authentic procedure, with the vegetables and herbs added towards the end to ensure they keep their vibrant flavour. This slower method is akin to traditional methods used in Italian cuisine and allows the natural sweetness to emerge from the tomatoes – helping to maintain the deep, rich red colour.

JEWELS OF INDIA

When Gordon travelled to India for the Channel 4 series Gordon Ramsay’s Great Escape, he got to experience authentic Indian cooking at its very best.

Inspired by this, Gordon travelled home and got together with his team of top chefs to develop exquisite sauces that faithfully represent different areas of India and use only the finest spices and ingredients.

The result is our Simply Good Indian sauces. Packed full of ingredients such as tamarind, coconut, double cream and almonds, and delicately flavoured with traditional spices such as garam masala, fresh curry leaves and fenugreek, they will transform any meat, vegetables or fish into a delectable dish fit for any curry connoisseur.
