Myrlande St Louis of It’s Mami’s Seasoning Company

Myrlande’s love for cooking started at the age of four years old when her father brought home her first frying pan. As she expresses, “from that day on, my mother would always make room for me in the kitchen.”

She learned, not only from her mother but also from her grandmother Emma. Over the years, she has incorporated their style of cooking with her own twist while keeping the traditional full of Haitian flavor.

As per her brand, It’s Mamis epis it is very versatile and can be used for whatever style of food you are cooking.

She named her seasoning It’s Mamis because she believes that her mother is the absolute best cook. She describes her seasoning as more than just seasoning but a tradition that has been passed down to her for many generations which she is now sharing with all of us from her kitchen to ours.
