Hi, I’m Jasmine Rae!

“A pinch of love, a dash of culture, and a whole lot of flavor.”

I’m the heart behind TasteTheSpice.com, where flavor meets comfort and every recipe has a story to tell. I’m a self-taught home cook with a deep love for spices, culture, and bringing people together around a good meal.

Where It All Started

I was raised in a kitchen where something was always simmering. The scent of cumin and coriander filled the air, and recipes were passed down not on paper, but by watching, tasting, and feeling. My mom stirred with care, my grandmother seasoned with instinct — and I learned by being in the middle of it all, apron messy and heart full.

That’s where my love of cooking began — in a space where food was never just food, but tradition, celebration, and love all wrapped into one.

Why I Started TasteTheSpice.com

Over the years, I found myself always experimenting in the kitchen, jotting recipes on scraps of paper, and texting friends tips for how to fix their dinner. One day, I realized maybe it’s time to share these stories and flavors with the world.

I started TasteTheSpice.com as a place where anyone can feel empowered to cook boldly and confidently, no matter their skill level. If you’ve got a few ingredients, a little time, and a love for flavor, you’re in the right place.
