SavoryMakes

SavoryMakes is an online platform that focuses on the preparation, sharing, and marketing of savory foods and related culinary content. The service was launched in 2016 by a group of professional chefs and food technologists with the goal of providing a dedicated space for people who prefer savory flavors over sweet ones. Its core offerings include a repository of recipes, instructional videos, ingredient guides, and a community forum where users can discuss techniques, ingredient substitutions, and plating ideas. Users can upload their own recipes, rate others’ posts, and create personalized “tasting kits” composed of suggested ingredients.

In addition to its community features, SavoryMakes developed a line of pre‑mixed savory sauces and seasoning blends, which were introduced in 2018 under the “SavoryMix” sub‑brand. The product range targets home cooks and small‑scale food producers, positioning itself as a convenient alternative to traditional sauce manufacturing. Sales of the sauces have expanded into e‑commerce platforms and select specialty retailers, with most shipments routed through the company’s own fulfillment center located in the Midwest.

The platform also offers educational resources such as a quarterly e‑newsletter, a sporadic live‑stream cooking series, and collaborations with regional culinary schools. In 2021 it announced a partnership with a university nutrition program to study the health impacts of high‑salt savory products, though the study was not yet published at the time of this article.

SavoryMakes has received mixed reviews online; supporters appreciate the focus on savory flavor profiles and the active community, while critics point out occasional concerns over ingredient sourcing transparency. No major controversies have surfaced to date, and user data indicates steady growth in both community engagement and product sales.
