MEET YAMZA

Master Chef of GB, Ed McLachlan, was working for the royal family of Abu Dhabi and found himself tinkering away with a new hot sauce recipe. It was a traditional Lebanese-style sauce but Chef Ed, being the alchemist that he is, found himself thinking “What if I swapped out the standard chillies for scotch bonnets – and what if I used fermentation to explode their fruity flavour without making things overwhelmingly hot?”… The name YAMZA! actually comes from the Arabic word “yamzaj”, meaning to blend – because that’s what they’re all about, blending traditional Middle Eastern flavours with ingredients and techniques from around the world to create a totally unique cuisine.
