Chef Braz grew up in the kitchen with the women in her family. She was always so curious about food and cooking. There was something so magical about the way that food brought her family together.
As an adult, she began to reflect on the contributions that she was going to make in her community. She wanted to build generational wealth for her family while also highlighting Black culture. She thought about those memories of being in the kitchen with her mom & grandmothers and decided that she wanted to impact the way that people experienced cooking.
Chef Braz created Tiger Life Gourmet seasonings to not only share her family's Southern-style of cooking with every day home cooks, but to also make cooking easier by removing the guesswork from seasoning food.
Chef Braz proclaims that she's just a Southern girl with a big heart and an even bigger dream of helping home cooks create delicious nostalgic meals, but with the confidence of a chef.
Many people ask how she came up with the name Tiger Life Gourmet. It all goes back to those days in the kitchen with her Grandmothers. As a collective, their spirit animal was the Tiger! So naturally, when Chef Braz decided to become an entrepreneur, she knew she had to create a product that would help home cooks feel fierce, bold, + confident in the kitchen!
She creates all 8 of her bold seasonings in small batches in Decatur, Ga. Each seasoning blend was inspired by her family's signature recipes. Plus, all of the seasonings are vegan friendly and gluten-free.
