Shashi Food Blogger and recipe developer at Savory Spin

Meet Shashi

I like to enjoy foods that make me feel good mentally and physically so most of the recipes I share here have a bit of a healthy-ish spin. I draw on spices I grew up with such as coriander, cumin, harissa, berbere, za'atar, etc to add flavor to most of the recipes I share on this blog. I try my best to make sure that all the spices I use and mention in my recipes can easily be found at local grocery stores in your neighborhood or easily bought on Amazon.
