Humble Pie is the creation of Mark and Manda, two foodies who produce a small range of Chutney, Relishes, Jams, Curds and other preserves to go with your meals. Although Manda was born in Lancashi
re, UK and grew up in the glorious Lake District, she lost any semblance of her English heritage when she left the UK at 21. Over the last 30 years, she has lived and worked in just about enough countries to count and travelled to even more. Fascinated by cultural diversity and, a great cook, she’s witnessed first hand how food brings people together. Through the countries that she has called ‘home’, which now is Portugal, she has absorbed the flavours and techniques of cooking in Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean and now creates a series of delicious and fascinatingly varied food that showcases the tastes she has experienced and her own creativity. Mark is also from Lancashire and spent his formative, working and family years in Blackpool - some see this as a disadvantage however he is a true “Sandgrown’un” and loves Fish & Chips! Over the last 15 years he has come to enjoy international cuisine whilst living, working and travelling with Manda. Now that the early bloodbath of learning to live together is over, they have formed a dynamic partnership; strong enough to not take any sh*t from each other, but humble enough to appreciate each other’s strengths. Only Quality Ingredients
We believe the reason why our jars of goodness are so tasty and why people love them is because we care about the ingredients we use. Where other producers will sometimes use cheaper ingredients to bulk out their products, we only use quality products that add to the flavour and you can really taste the difference in the quality. Although we have started with a small range of products, we have found that Manda has a knack for coming up with great new recipe ideas – ones that work well yet are not run of the mill. Manda’s taste profile and imagination have no boundaries and she is more than happy for you to suggest different flavour marriages. All our products are made by hand using traditional open pans and are free from Additives and Preservatives as well as being suitable for vegetarians and most are vegan friendly.
