Hi there! I’m Tiffany, and I’m so glad you’re here.
Founder, Head Recipe Developer & Culinary Storyteller at PureSavory – Based in Georgia, USA
I’m Tiffany R. Saucier—a 43-year-old Capricorn with a lifelong love affair with food, flavor, and the stories they tell. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just learning to boil pasta, you’ve found a space where heart, heritage, and heat come together.
Where It All Began
I grew up in a modest home in rural Georgia, where Sunday sauce wasn’t just a meal—it was a ritual. I’d stand on a wooden stool beside my grandmother, helping her stir her famous marinara while she hummed old blues songs. That bubbling pot became my classroom, my compass, and my calling.
We didn’t have much, but we had grit, love, and meals that made us feel whole. Food was how we celebrated, mourned, healed—and I knew early on that it would shape my future.
My Journey Through the Fire
At 16, I was scribbling down spice combos on the backs of math homework. By 19, I was sweating on the line in restaurant kitchens, climbing my way up—dish by dish.
Over two decades, I mastered cuisines that span the globe:
- Italian soul food
- Bold, fiery Thai curries
- Buttery, delicate Greek pastries
- Complex and colorful Indian dishes
Every kitchen taught me something new. Every dish demanded patience, respect, and intuition. Eventually, I found myself plating perfection in a 5-star Michelin restaurant—where precision met passion.
But perfection wasn’t enough. I craved connection.
Why I Created This Blog
I stepped away from the white tablecloths and back into something intimate and soulful: storytelling through food. This blog is my second kitchen—a place to connect, comfort, and cook with purpose.
It’s not just about recipes. It’s about nourishment, memory, and joy. It’s where I serve up dishes rooted in tradition, inspired by travel, and made for real life.
35 Countries. One Southern Heart.
So far, I’ve explored 35 countries through food. I’ve rolled gnocchi in Naples, sipped tom yum in Bangkok, learned biryani secrets in Mumbai, and shared meze in Santorini.
This space is where global flavors meet Southern warmth. You’ll find:
- Generational recipes
- Modern shortcuts
- Bold, cross-cultural flavor fusions
Each bite carries a story—and I’m here to help you write your own, one dish at a time.
Healing Through Flavor
Not long ago, I weighed 220 pounds. I fed everyone else with love but forgot to nourish myself. I felt disconnected—physically and emotionally.
So I chose to give myself the same care I gave others. I didn’t follow a trend or diet. I followed flavor, balance, and intention.
Today, at 5’4” and 173.6 pounds, I stand proud in a body I love. I’ve shed over 45 pounds through soulful eating, not restriction. I’m living proof that food can heal—one delicious bite at a time.
