The Quirky Cook
It started with homemade preserves in 2008 and has since evolved into a gold standard for black-garlic condiments.
Derbyshire-based artisan producer Kay Hawkins – aka The Quirky Cook – came across black garlic in 2015 and has since been nationally recognised for her innovative creations. The introduction of the Honeyed Fig Relish with Black Garlic saw The Quirky Cook take home her first national food award – Ambient Product of the Year – in the 2018 Great Taste Awards organised by the Guild of Fine Food.
The Quirky Cook has held the same ethos since 2008: to create high-quality homemade products with the purest ingredients, carefully selected to eliminate artificial preservatives and allergens wherever possible. No artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners are added, and most products are suitable for vegans.
With an ever-expanding portfolio of relishes, including Piccalilli, our top picks include the award-winning Honeyed Fig Relish with Black Garlic and the Caramelised Onion Relish with Black Garlic – a sublime partner for a hot dog.
