About Flavour Bombs
Flavour Bombs was created by husband-and-wife duo Tina and Olly, who set out to make authentic global cooking easier for busy home cooks.
Both passionate about food, they found that many of the world’s most exciting dishes required hours of preparation and specialist ingredients. They believed there had to be a simpler way to bring those flavours into everyday kitchens.
Tina, the flavour obsessive behind the recipes, learned many traditional dishes while cooking in the homes of friends and families from around the world. These were the kinds of recipes rarely written down - dishes passed through generations through shared meals and storytelling.
Before launching Flavour Bombs, Tina spent over a decade as a senior executive in the tech industry, while Olly built his career in the creative world of film and television.
Together they created Flavour Bombs - carefully crafted flavour bases designed to melt into sauces and broths, delivering the depth of slow-cooked dishes without the hours of preparation.
Each recipe is taste-tested and refined with chefs and communities connected to the cuisine, helping ensure the flavours stay true to their origins.
