Meet the Founder
My name is Jasmine and I’m the founder of Tasting India and I come from a long line of fierce and talented women. I have very fond memories of cooking and learning the magic of spices with my aunts and mother.
My passion for sharing foods and flavors, associated with love, inspired Tasting India’s line of micro batch crafted products.
Food has always been my favorite way to create new bonds and strengthen connections, so I feel grateful to spend my time building a community that is United by Spice!
A letter from the Founder: A Spice Merchant’s Grand Daughter
In my journey of dreaming up this company, I learnt more about my maternal grandfather, one of the biggest spice merchants of his time, in Kolkata, India.
My childhood was peppered with tales recounted by my mom, of playing amongst countless of sacks of spices, the perfume filling the air of her childhood home. These early stories were instrumental in my quest for understanding the magic of spices and forming my vision. I remember having clarity of my path at an early age, of becoming a chef, feeding people and building shared experiences through food.
Spices have been the very foundation of all my happy memories and through Tasting India, I hope to offer you a tantalizing glimpse of the rich, vibrant culture of my homeland, showcasing these magical spices that can elevate flavors across different cuisines.
We’re so happy to have you join us on this global culinary adventure!
Always stay United by Spice!
CEO and Founder
