Meet Shashi Charles

Today we’d like to introduce you to Shashi Charles.

Hi Shashi, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I started Savory Spin in the summer of 2013 as an online recipe journal to keep track of recipes for my daughter. When I started this blog, it was under the name of “Runnin Sri Lankan.” At that time, that seemed to work for me.

But, as this blog evolved, I decided to rename it so it would be more reflective of the recipes I wanted to share, recipes with their unique fusion spin. So, in 2016, I rebranded Runnin Sri Lankan to Savory Spin.

Savory Spin is a collection of mostly nutritious, budget-friendly recipes with a Sri Lankan or Middle Eastern Spin.

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 am a huge proponent of “a little spice is always nice” and I passionately incorporate it into eats and treats that I sure hope will tickle your tastebuds and not mess with your waistline – too much.

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.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Burnout has been a struggle and keeping up with ever-changing Google updates!

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
As the food blogger behind Savory Spin, it makes my day when I get a comment, or I am tagged on a post on Social media by someone who made one of my healthyish, well-spiced recipes and loved it.

Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
