About Ice Kitchen
Fresh flavour starts in the freezer.
At Ice Kitchen, we make fresh-frozen cooking pastes for curries, stir-fries and marinades.
We blend real ingredients - herbs, spices and aromatics - then freeze them immediately, so you get big, fresh flavour without the prep.
No UPFs. No preservatives. No half-used jars at the back of the fridge.
With your favourite protein and veg, you can cook a proper meal in minutes.
Why frozen?
Because fresh flavour doesn’t belong sealed in a jar for months.
Fresh herbs, chillies, garlic, ginger and aromatics are at their best when they taste bright and vibrant. Freezing lets us protect that flavour without relying on preservatives or heavy processing.
That is why Ice Kitchen lives in the freezer.
Our story
Ice Kitchen began life as an artisan ice lolly maker, but our next chapter started with a simple idea: make proper home cooking easier, fresher and more exciting.
Chef and founder Cesar Roden had been freezing freshly made pastes at home to preserve their flavour and reduce waste. Cesar and business partner Nishit Shah saw a bigger opportunity: little frozen pots that could help people cook restaurant-inspired meals at home, without the prep or flavour guesswork.
Today, Ice Kitchen makes a growing range of fresh frozen cooking pastes for curries, stir-fries, marinades and quick everyday meals.
What makes us different
We sit between the jar, the traditional paste and the ready meal.
Fresher and more flavourful than jars.
Easier and more reliable than traditional pastes.
More flexible and rewarding than ready meals.
You choose the protein and veg. We bring the flavour.
Better cooking, less clutter
Our pastes are portioned into little frozen pots that serve at least two.
No half-used jars. No tired sauces. No flavour guesswork.
Just real ingredients, blended and balanced, ready when you are.
