As a child, Dumpling Daughter CEO and founder Nadia Liu Spellman always had fond memories of her parents’ Chinese restaurant. When she grew up, it was no surprise that she decided to open not just one, but four restaurants of her own in her hometown of Boston, Massachusetts.

When the pandemic hit, Nadia began selling bottles of their Spicy Sweet Soy Sauce directly to customers in the Amazon store—and it was a hit. It also helped inspire more creative opportunities, including Nadia’s new cookbook, Dumpling Daughter Heirloom Recipes: From Our Restaurants And Home Kitchens, now available in Amazon’s store.

When it comes to the future of Dumpling Daughter, Nadia says, “The sky’s the limit.”

Angus Junkin loves to garden so much so that it was common for people to go to the former landscaper for advice. They’d ask, “How do you garden?” or “What will grow?”—and the big one, “How do I keep my garden alive?”

These questions helped him sprout a new business idea, Garden Tutor, to offer tools and products that empower people in the garden. Angus began selling in Amazon’s store in 2019 and soon his business grew around the world.
