Ep 34 - Georgina speaks to Denise founder of Engrained maker of artisan granola and muesli šŸ˜‹šŸŒ¾ā™»ļø
Nov 15, 2021 Season 1 Episode 34
Georgina Jackson

Denise started making granola and muesli for her family during the pandemic in 2020. She explains, ā€˜It started out of pure necessity just for my own consumption and my familiesā€™ consumption ā€“ we love to eat granola and muesliā€™. After getting the thumbs up from her family she started to give her gourmet granola and muesli to a few friends and neighbours to see what they thought and thatā€™s when it took off and Engrained was born. Denise says, ā€˜I did not set out to start a business at all but somehow it has turned into one and Iā€™m the first one surprised to be honestā€™. 

Denise says she wanted to make her granola and muesli recipes appealing because, ā€˜it was initially intended for my children and myself so it had to be something that I was happy to dig into every day and that I knew they would get excited about as wellā€™. The recipes also needed to be healthy and nourishing, ā€˜because I didnā€™t want to be running around preparing snacks all the time, so it sort of had to tick a few boxes but yes I definitely put a huge emphasis on the flavoursā€™. She wonā€™t be pushed into picking out her favourite flavour and with names like ā€˜TrĆØs chocolatā€™ Granola, Carrot Halwa Granola and Almond Cinnamon Crunch Granola I donā€™t blame her! Sustainability is also very important to her, ā€˜I see small businesses are really the ones leading the change and really putting change in consumers handsā€™ which is why you can get refills of her recipes at select refill shops (see www.engrained.co.uk for details). The interview was recorded on Wednesday 20th October at 12pm BST.
