As an ex-professional chef, I love to keep up with food trends and experiment with different flavours, and good food and nutrition will always be my passion. In 2010, I was diagnosed as being Coeliac.

I needed to make major changes to my diet, and fast. Not only were bread and pasta banned – and back then the gluten-free options were pretty bad – but more misery followed when I discovered that soy sauce and the vinegar used in my favourite BBQ sauces were also on the blacklist!

I started experimenting and came up with some pretty good substitutes. The result of all these endeavours was a surplus of lots of different condiments, of which I had to do something with, so I started giving them away as gifts. In 2014, a Christmas gift to a friend sparked a demand for my sauces, and the Basketcase story started.

Basketcase - because only a crazy person would work full time, manage a family, start a part-time business, and at Christmas of all times!

Slowly but surely our products have evolved, Basketcase is now a full-time business and now offers the following categories, with new products in development all the time.

Glazes and Marinades
Salad Dressings
