Hi, I’m Ivy—the heart behind Spice-A-Bowl. I’ve moved and lived in different corners of the world. But no matter where I went, one thing always stayed with me: my love for cooking and the flavors that brought me a sense of home.
Spice-A-Bowl was born from my own struggle. Like many busy students and young professionals, I found it difficult to access the spices I needed to recreate my favorite dishes—whether it was a nostalgic home recipe or an exciting new cuisine I had tasted. I often had to choose between bland meals or buying full-sized spice jars I’d only use once.
That’s when I realized: why not make authentic, global flavors accessible in a simple, portable way? So, I created Spice-A-Bowl’s all-in-one spice cards—perfectly portioned blends with pre-measured spices and easy-to-follow recipes. Whether you’re making a quick weeknight dinner or exploring a new cuisine, Spice-A-Bowl makes it effortless and delicious.
Food has always been my love language. It’s how I connect with people, share experiences, and celebrate culture. With Spice-A-Bowl, I hope to bring that same joy to others—helping you cook and savor flavors from around the world, wherever you are. Because at the end of the day, food isn’t just about eating. It’s about belonging, sharing, and feeling at home—no matter where life takes you.
As I bring Spice-A-Bowl to life, I’m deeply grateful and moved by the enthusiasm and encouragement from flavor explorers and home cooks like you who share this passion. From selling out at SXSW Capital Factory’s Startup Crawl to receiving mentorship from industry experts, Spice-A-Bowl is growing—and so is our mission:
- To bring bold, authentic flavors to your table, wherever you are.
- To make home cooking easy, exciting, and accessible—even on your busiest days.
- To celebrate the diversity of global cuisines, one bowl at a time.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you’re cooking for yourself, your friends, or simply spicing up your week, Spice-A-Bowl is here to bring the world to your kitchen.
Make cooking easier, tastier, and healthier, for you and your loved ones.
