A journey of love, tradition, and honoring the women who shaped us
In Memory of Nana Yvette
I started this little business in memory of my grandmother, Yvette — the kind of woman whose quiet belief in me was louder than words. She never pushed, never preached — but she made me feel like I could do anything. That feeling stayed with me.
My mother — her daughter — has always been the heart of our kitchen. Her cooking is comfort. Her recipes are the kind that don't live in cookbooks, just in hands and memory. So when this idea took shape, I knew I wanted it to start with her. These spice blends are hers — the same ones we grew up eating at our table, full of warmth, flavor, and love.
Everything we make is homemade, in small batches, using good, honest spices from local sources. Nothing fancy — just the kind of food that feels like home.
This isn't just a business. It's a way of keeping the women who raised me close. It's a thank you to my Nana. A celebration of my mother. And a chance to share a piece of our story — one packet at a time.

A Heritage of Flavor
