Giant Step
December 31, 2023
Last week when I finished my last batch in our commercial kitchen, cleaned up and started closing out another year I finally let it sink in. We were in our own commercial Kitchen!! I skipped around the kitchen bursting with happiness and a sense of relief that all the hard work had finally paid off. A giant step that took unconditional support from my husband & sons and with encouragement from our customers, partners, friends, and my extended family.
An incredible 6-year journey! Never thought running a food business would require me to learn so much about the various architectural and construction requirements. With the help of supportive Elk Grove Village professionals and fire marshals we managed to find our way through the various codes and regulations to get a place leased and kitchen constructed. Took longer than we thought, but on July 12th we passed the final inspections and received our permit to operate in our kitchen. Our very own space to create flavorful, preservative-free, and healthy, ginger-based products using all-natural ingredients.
My pursuit for natural ingredients and healthy eating options stems from a belief that “nourishing meals are essential elements of a wholesome lifestyle.” It is a journey I personally have been on for a long time, and increasingly more people are choosing to embark upon a similar journey. In fact, surveys, articles, and research are showing that more than 70% want to be healthier and eat less processed foods. Alas, that same research shows that our hectic lifestyles often get in the way of preparing tasty nourishing meals, making it easier to eat “processed food.” On top of that there exists a perception that processed food tastes better than healthy options! Those are the challenges that we at Nal’s Kitchen have committed ourselves to help overcome with our flavorful, “multi-use” dressings and spreads.
We strive to make it easier for our customers to take the giant step towards healthy wholesome eating by simplifying everyday home cooking without sacrificing flavor.
