Food & Drink Awards 2025

Food and Drink Awards 2025 | 13 To this end, Joanne now creates small-batch blends that are handcrafted and mixed on demand, ensuring that each batch is precisely measured to maintain consistency in the seasonings. Her range provides healthier, natural alternatives to conventional storebought seasonings, as well as those with specific dietary needs such as vegan, keto, salt-free, and gluten-free diets. All products are designed to offer gourmet flavour, convenience, and value, and are high-quality blends so everyone, regardless of their cooking skills or budget, can enjoy gourmet flavours in their everyday meals. Where core values are concerned, HS Creations operates a steadfast commitment to transparency, sustainability, and customer awareness. So much more than just a spice company, HS Creations is an advocate for healthier, better cooking, and Joanne firmly believes that everyone should have access to gourmet flavours. “The blends we make today are pure organic,” enthuses Joanne. “What you see, is what you get, no hidden additives. The blends I create save space, money, and time. There is something for everyone’s taste.” HS Creations stays competitive by focusing on quality, innovation, and educating consumers. Joanne carefully sources certified organic, nonGMO herbs and spices, making sure each ingredient meets her high standards for both freshness and flavour. The extensive product lineup includes unique blends with many being inspired by seasonings used around the world, like the Bahārāt Blend, which is from the Middle East. To set HS Creations apart from competitors, Joanne likes to provide as much information as possible for each blend, providing recipe suggestions, flavour notes, and related information. She also uses recyclable packaging in order to highlight her commitment to sustainability and works to find strategic partnerships to expand the company’s reach and strengthen brand recognition. Joanne tells us that the organic spices sector is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for natural and chemical-free products. HS Creations was established in response to the lack of quality and transparency in traditional spice options and a real challenge within the sector is continuous need for monitoring of the certifications and food purity of the suppliers that Joanne uses. “We have had to shift sourcing, on occasion, due to regional or seasonal availability,” she explains. “Our dedication to transparency and quality appeals to consumers, and we are a leading innovator in the movement toward healthier, more flavourful cooking.” At HS Creations, a real passion for food is valued, as is a commitment to quality, and continuous growth, and the company’s collaborative approach inspires creativity and excellence in its products and employees alike. Team members experiment with the innovative blends at home and are encouraged to contribute to the shared success of the firm. “Our dedication to transparency and quality appeals to consumers, and we are a leading innovator in the movement toward healthier, more flavourful cooking.” Above everything else, integrity throughout the brand is prioritised which is why HS Creations recently gained notable recognition and success in the Food and Drink Awards 2025, being bestowed with the prestigious accolade of Best Organic Spice & Herb Blends 2025 – USA. Now, the future is looking bright for Joanne and the team. HS Creations has established a unique place in the farm-to-table movement, focusing on spices rather than proteins. Looking ahead, the firm now aims to expand its existing product range and develop partnerships. “We are always creating new blends and seeking customer feedback and suggestions,” says Joanne. “By focusing on creating new flavour experiences, we try to stay ahead and engage new customers. The future looks promising as we continue to support the farm-to-table movement by emphasising the importance of high-quality herbs and spices in addition to the traditional focus on proteins.” Such is the praise for HS Creations’ range of healthy, natural produce, that we thought we’d share what just a handful of its delighted customers have to say! “HS Creations spice blends are the only type I use when cooking.
