All Dressed Up - Tess Reed
Introducing Tess. She’s the founder of All Dressed Up, the flavour-first salad dressings company on a mission to elevate everyday meals (not just salad leaves) using trending ingredients people know and love without any of the artificial ingredients that supermarket brands use. After cutting her teeth in the fast-paced FMCG world with names like Coconut Collaborative and Perkbox, Tess took a bold step into the kitchen to hone her culinary chops, training as a professional chef at the renowned Leiths School of Food & Wine. Following stints perfecting her craft, she received some unexpected feedback: her boyfriend said her dressings were so good she should sell them…which is exactly what she did. Since then, Tess’s delicious dressings have made their way onto the shelves of places like Whole Foods, Eat17, and Delli App, as well as independent delis and farm shops across the country—and with a major Ocado deal on the horizon, things are only looking up! In this episode, we’ll dive into her flavorful journey, from juggling two jobs to her top tips for making it all work. Enjoy.
