Saida’s Kitchen is a UK-based culinary brand founded by Somali-born chef Saida Thorne. Drawing on family recipes and North African heritage, they rescue surplus and imperfect fruits, vegetables, and herbs from local farms and markets—such as overripe tomatoes, peppers, and dried fruits—and turn them into handcrafted, allergen-friendly tagine sauces, spice mixes, and chutneys. Each product is gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and free from artificial preservatives.
By partnering with regenerative farmers and community suppliers, Saida’s Kitchen diverts edible produce from waste streams while supporting women’s education initiatives in rural Africa. Their award-nominated sauces—like Somali-style sweetly spiced tagine and Ethiopian berbere hotpot mix—are stocked at Sainsbury’s, independent delis across London, and online, proving that tradition, taste, and sustainability can thrive together.
