Competitors on Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars will be put to the test in a sauce-making challenge by Nottingham's very own experts. Masters in the field, Sauce Shop, were invited to feature in this week's episode on the BBC series where food and drink entrepreneurs are set tasks in a bid to win a £150,000 investment of the celebrity chef's own cash.
The show was filmed around a year ago. The team which secured the most orders was declared the winner. Pam said: "Both teams had to sell the sauces to members of the public and we had some secret buyers planted as well. The episode will be screened on Thursday, April 27, at 9pm on BBC One, when the winning sauce will be available as a limited edition on Sauce Shop's website priced £3.50. Pam said: "It will appear on our website at 9pm but it will be a mystery so people will be able to put it in their basket and purchase it but they won't know what flavour it is, so it's a bit of a risk whether they like it.
James and Pam, who are husband and wife, founded the company after experimenting in the kitchen at their West Bridgford home in 2014. Last year Sauce Shop had a £3m turnover as well as a whole host of awards and plaudits. The range features everyday favourites tomato ketchup and brown sauce to more adventurous flavours such as chipotle and lime aioli, honey sriracha drizzle and the hottest they've ever made ghost pepper ketchup.
