What started as a food blog, became an instant hit when we introduce our small gourmet line of hot and spicy sauces. Gemma’s Living is a family-owned business. As we have been taught by experience, food is best enjoyed when prepared with the best ingredients. We thrive to create new recipes, spices, and seasonings blends to share with our family, friends, and customers.
We believe the choices we make about what we eat, where it comes from, have a direct and powerful impact on the health of individuals, communities, and the environment. That’s why we created products that will inspire healthy and flavorful cooking.
We believe that everyone can bring the taste of the Caribbean right in the comfort of their home. We enjoy sharing our family and Caribbean-inspired recipes. As we embrace and appreciate our Haitian Caribbean heritage, our passion for delicious foods, wholesome ingredients, and innovative recipe ideas has brought us thus far to
The sisters’ upbringing in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, had an inculcate influence on their cooking. Their beloved mother was from the north side (Cap-Haitien) of the island, and their beloved father was from the south side (Jacmel). Both parents met in Port-au-Prince, Haiti (the Capital), and settled to raise their family. At an early age, the sisters were introduced to the north and south cooking, which sparked a culinary interest that would result in a perfect marriage of a myriad of bold and unique Caribbean flavors. Such exposure enticed their interest in cooking which will later drove them onto the road of Gourmet Foods.
To honor their parents and their love of cooking, the sisters decided to combine both parents’ names, and that’s how the name Noubess was created. NouBess is the love story of their parents and their legacy that will continue to imprint in their minds. Check out our Noubess Shop!
