Bringing the Heat: Spicewalla introduces a flavor-filled fundraiser for WNC

Award-winning chef Meherwan Irani, along with several culinary collaborators, has launched ‘Made with Love in Asheville Collection’, a limited-edition 10-pack of exclusive spice blends to assist recovery efforts in the area. Each collection purchased online and in select retail stores in Asheville aids recovery efforts and honors local flavors, with a portion of sales donated to MANNA FoodBank, Homeward Bound, and Blue Ridge Public Radio, notes Kelsey Burrow, of the Chai Pani Restaurant Group.

Uniquely, the 10-pack of tins together form a lovely landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains at sunset and comes with an illustrated cookbooklet download of recipes featuring the eateries’ unique spice blend. The collection retails for $79.99. A printed version of the cookbook can be added to collection purchases for $5.

Chef Irani notes that this special collection is a “celebration of Asheville’s creative and collaborative spirit, the people and places that make this town magic. It’s a ‘Thank you’ to the local legends who partnered with us, and a promise that we’ll keep showing up for our resilient mountain community.”
