Subtle layers of flavour that lift each ingredient in the dish. That's Honteri - truly the Chefs' Secret Weapon. Honteri is a highly versatile and authentic mirin-style seasoning that recreates the sweet and umami flavours of mirin, rounding off savoury notes and adding a glossy shine to marinades, broths and sauces, but with just 1% alcohol.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
