In French cooking, the fond is the browned layer left at the bottom of the pan. It looks like nothing, but it becomes the base of everything that follows.

Our communities have always known this. Black, Caribbean, African, Asian and diaspora cooks took what they were given and built some of the world's most loved food on top of it: the epis, the sofrito, the green seasoning, the berbere, the holy trinity. These recipes were rarely written down. They lived in people's hands and were passed from one generation to the next.

Fond & Co. honours those foundations. Every design is a tribute to where a kitchen starts and to the people who kept it going.
