The Struggle is Real!

Creating a delicious meal can often feel like a daunting task, especially when it involves juggling multiple spices to perfect a recipe. The frustration of realizing you’re missing a key spice or the time-consuming hassle of rummaging through your cabinet to gather a dozen different jars can take the joy out of cooking.

And when you’re trying to get creative in the kitchen, the uncertainty of which spices complement each other can leave you second-guessing your choices. These challenges can turn what should be a fun and fulfilling experience into a stressful one, leaving you wishing for a simpler, more convenient solution.

Our Story

Welcome to CustomHerbSpiceShop (formerly GoRedChef), where every blend tells a story and every jar is crafted passionately. Our journey began in 2001 when I took my first steps into the culinary world by attending culinary school.

My love for food blossomed there as I explored diverse cuisines and cultures, deeply connecting with my heritage. The friendships and professional relationships I built along the way have been invaluable, shaping my culinary philosophy and enriching both my life and the flavors I create.

The Development

Food has always been more than just nourishment; it’s a powerful connector connecting people and us to our shared history. Since 2002, I have honed my skills in professional kitchens across various hotels, but my journey took a different turn when I became a mother to a child with autism.

Though I stepped away from the professional kitchen, my passion for the culinary arts remained unwavering. In 2013, I reignited this passion by launching an online spice shop and food blog, keeping the culinary flame alive.

Today, as an entrepreneur and dedicated chef, I aim to inspire creativity and connection through home cooking, inviting you to explore new flavors and be part of our vibrant community.

Why Change the Brand?

We’ve continuously changed our company brand and logo to find the perfect fit—the right image that truly represents who we are. Our journey has always been about more than just spices; it’s about transparency, honesty, and serving our customers with the utmost integrity.

...offering a professional chef's personalized touch and care.

We wanted a brand that reflects our "no bull" philosophy—being straightforward and building a genuine connection with our community. By fostering a love for home cooking, we separate ourselves from mass producers by offering a professional chef's personalized touch and care.

These changes aligned our brand with our commitment to quality, community, and the joy of cooking.
