A colleague called Tom brought chilli sauce into the office where we worked in Brighton. Everyone raved about it. For some reason I didn’t try it for months.
When I finally did, I was hooked straight away. I wanted to make some myself, so I asked Tom how, and he did something generous: he gave me his family’s secret recipe.
That was early 2020. I’ve been making chilli sauce in some form ever since. Tom’s recipe is still in there somewhere, six years and a lot of tinkering later.
