Our Story

A childhood split between the vibrant markets of West Africa and the cosy kitchens of France shaped our founder Cécile's culinary soul. From savouring grilled plantain under starlit African skies to warming herself with her Aunt Marguerite's Provençal pistou, food became her bridge between worlds – and a precious connection to her late father, her first companion in culinary adventure.

When life brought Cécile to British shores, she found herself yearning for the bold, authentic flavours that had coloured her childhood. She discovered she wasn't alone; many fellow food lovers shared her quest for genuine, high-quality ingredients from around the globe. This shared hunger for authenticity sparked The Épicerie.
