The Flavour Behind the Brand

I have never been far from a kitchen. It started young — working alongside my mom in a catering company, making food for weddings and parties, learning early that food isn't just fuel, it's what brings people together and makes them feel something.

That’s a  thread that ran all the way through a career spent writing about food and cocktails around the world. Restaurants, markets, hole-in-the-wall gems, Michelin-starred kitchens — I’ve tasted it all, taken notes, and come home with ideas. I’ve worked in meat cutting facilities and food manufacturing places, where I learned about the commercial side of food. 

Lavish Little Spice Co. is what happened when all of that came together. The mission is simple: take the kind of bold, confident flavour that you can only get in professional kitchens and put it into your hands, onto your plate, without the expensive price tag, the culinary school debt, or the intimidation factor. And hey, if you’re already an accomplished culinary wizard, you’ll already know how to use these blends to make something delicious into something amazing. 

All of Lavish’s blends are handcrafted in small batches in Edmonton, Alberta, from spices chosen for quality and flavour first. No fillers, no fluff, no MSG, and only as much salt as necessary. The kind of seasoning that makes you feel like you've got a secret.

Small batch. Big flavours. That's the whole deal.

"Bougie culinary on a budget — that's always been the goal."
