Our Story

Mae’s Seasonings started with one simple goal — to create bold, flavourful blends without relying on excess salt or artificial ingredients. Rachael, a professional chef based in Abbotsford, BC, began creating her own spice blends after finding that store-bought options lacked depth and balance.

The Blend That Started It All

What started in her kitchen quickly became a passion. While Rachael was working as a kitchen manager and head chef, her Cajun Blackened blend became a customer favourite, featured in signature dishes like Cajun chicken sandwiches and creamy pastas. From there, the collection grew through relentless experimentation, feedback, and a pure love for real flavour.

In 2020, Mae’s Seasonings officially launched, offering handcrafted blends made with high-quality, potent spices. Since then, the lineup has expanded to include rubs, dip mixes, and sauces — all built on the same philosophy: clean ingredients, bold taste, and no shortcuts.

Why Mae’s Seasonings?

  • Chef-developed recipes: Created by Chef Rachael Mae for everyday cooking.
  • Made in small batches: Carefully prepared for bold flavour and aroma.
  • Spice blends and sauces: Versatile flavour for meals, dipping and grilling.
  • Made in Abbotsford, BC: Locally crafted in the Fraser Valley.

Growing the Line

What started with spice blends has grown into a range of small-batch sauces, including our best-selling Candied Jalapeño BBQ Sauce and seasonal cranberry and apple sauces. Each recipe brings the same focus on bold flavour and thoughtfully chosen ingredients.

A Passion for Flavour

Rachael began experimenting with spice blends and sauces while cooking for her growing family. She wanted flavourful meals made with ingredients she felt good about serving. That early kitchen creativity continues to inspire the recipes behind Mae’s Seasonings.
