Brands I Trust
The brands on this page are ones I use in my own kitchen and recommend without reservation. I have an affiliate code with each of them, meaning I earn a small commission if you purchase through my code, at no additional cost to you. That said, every brand here would be on this list regardless. I am particular about what I cook with, and I am equally particular about what I recommend.
Shyft Protein
Most protein powders are designed to sell quickly, not to work well. Shyft took the opposite approach, spending years in research and development before bringing their product to market, with a focus on clean, consistent, well-studied ingredients.
That same commitment to quality is why their flavour range is intentionally limited. Every option exists because it meets their standard, not to fill a product catalogue.
Shyft offers two protein lines: a plant-based formula and a fermented yeast protein, the latter being a genuinely interesting option for those who want plant-based protein with improved digestibility and bioavailability. Both are worth trying depending on your dietary needs and goals.
Ambriona
Good vegan chocolate is hard to find. Vegan white chocolate is even harder. Ambriona makes both, with a level of quality that makes them a genuine standout in the Indian market.
What sets them apart is their focus on purposeful formulation. Their zero sugar range is erythritol-free, which matters if you are sensitive to sugar alcohols or simply prefer a cleaner ingredient list. It also melts and bakes consistently well, which is exactly what you need when you are working with chocolate in a recipe.
They have built their product range around the needs of serious home bakers, including those baking vegan and sugar-free, making them one of the most useful chocolate brands to have in your pantry.
Trulo
Trulo is a sugar alternative made with monk fruit and allulose, and it is one of the few that actually behaves like sugar when you cook and bake with it.
Allulose caramelises, which means you can make a proper crème brûlée with a crackling golden top without any sugar. Most sweeteners cannot achieve that. Trulo can.
It is a 1:1sugar replacement with no aftertaste, no erythritol, and no adjustment needed in your existing recipes. For anyone baking sugar-free regularly, it removes a lot of the guesswork.
Bakescape
The quality of your flour shapes everything that comes out of your oven. Bakescape's range of all-purpose, bread flour, and whole wheat produces results that I would place alongside internationally recognised brands like King Arthur in terms of consistency and performance.Their flours are unbleached and free from the chemical treatments and unnecessary additives that most commercial flours carry.
If you have been settling for whatever flour is most available and wondering why your breads and baked goods are not quite hitting the mark, it may be time to switch to a better quality flour like Bakescape.
Asmita Organic Farms
Asmita Organic Farms
Asmita makes nut butters the way they should be made, with real ingredients, no added sugar, and monk fruit as a natural sweetener.
The ingredient quality is evident in both the taste and the texture. Their blue spirulina vanilla frosting gets its colour from the spirulina itself, not from a colouring agent. That kind of attention to what actually goes into a product is increasingly rare, and it is exactly the standard I look for when recommending a brand.
For anyone who wants a nut butter that is genuinely clean, delicious, and made without compromise, Asmita is the one.
Hello Tempayy
Tempeh is one of the easiest ways to add high-quality plant protein to your meals, and Hello Tempayy has become my go-to brand for it. Made from fermented soybeans, tempeh naturally provides all the nutritional benefits of soy while the fermentation process makes it more digestible and supports gut health.
What I love most about Hello Tempayy is how versatile their range is. Whether you want plain cubes or crumbles to cook with your own recipes, or ready-to-cook options like marinated tempeh, kebabs, and momos, there's something for every kind of meal. I use it almost every day because it's one of the simplest ways to increase the protein content of a meal without sacrificing flavour or convenience.
Carra
Finding genuinely good vegan chocolate is surprisingly difficult, and Carra is one of the few brands that consistently delivers. Their range includes excellent vegan white chocolate alongside a variety of sugar-free options, making them a staple in my pantry.
Their chocolates work beautifully for both baking and everyday snacking. They melt well, taste great, and don't feel like a compromise simply because they're vegan or sugar-free. Whether I'm making desserts or just reaching for a piece after dinner, Carra is one of the brands I always come back to.
Sorted Deli
Good gluten-free breads and wraps can be difficult to find, especially ones that actually taste good and hold together well. Sorted Deli has become one of my favourites because their products are genuinely versatile and easy to use in everyday cooking.
I particularly love their spinach wraps, which make quick burritos, wraps, and rolls without feeling heavy. They also have a great range of gluten-free breads that are perfect for anyone avoiding gluten or simply looking for more options. They're convenient, satisfying, and make sticking to dietary preferences much easier without sacrificing texture or flavour.
The Avo Company
A good cooking oil should perform well without overpowering your food, and that's exactly why I recommend The Avo Company. Their avocado oil is high quality, has a naturally neutral flavour, and a high smoke point, making it suitable for everything from roasting and sautéing to baking.
I especially love their avocado oil spray, which makes greasing baking trays and pans quick, even, and mess-free. It's one of those kitchen staples that quietly makes cooking easier while giving you the benefits of a well-made, versatile oil.
Sihi
Sihi produces some of the best cocoa and cacao powders I've used. Ingredient quality makes a noticeable difference when you're baking, and their products have the rich flavour and consistency that I look for in recipes.
Both their cocoa and cacao powders are vegan-friendly and work equally well in baking, desserts, smoothies, and hot chocolate. When a recipe depends on chocolate flavour, starting with a better-quality cocoa makes all the difference, and Sihi has consistently delivered exactly that.
Millie's Vegan Cheese
There are plenty of products labelled as vegan cheese, but very few actually resemble traditional cheese in the way they're made. Millie's stands apart because their cheeses are fermented and aged, giving them the complexity, flavour, and texture that simple blends of tofu, nuts, and nutritional yeast simply can't replicate.
Their range includes wheels, spreads, butters, and several unique flavours, making it easy to find something for everything from cheeseboards to sandwiches and cooking. Whether you're vegan, dairy-free, or simply curious about high-quality plant-based alternatives, Millie's is one of the closest experiences you'll find to real artisanal cheese without using dairy.
