Deyvanna Zelthanna, the innovative mind behind Poziukri, has transformed how we perceive food—not just as a necessity, but as an evolving experience. From her creative base in the quiet town of Kanawha, Iowa at 4616 Southern Avenue, she crafts not only recipes but movements, harmonizing culinary trends, global influences, and kitchen mastery. With a fearless approach to flavors and a passion for sharing, Deyvanna’s story is one of curiosity, commitment, and growth. Through Poziukri, she empowers food lovers far and wide to innovate boldly in their own kitchens and lives.
Rooted in Curiosity
Long before Poziukri was established, Deyvanna was already deep in the world of culinary fascination. Growing up in the Midwest, where hearty, traditional meals met the rhythm of four distinct seasons, she became fascinated with how ingredients changed with weather, mood, and culture. Kanawha, Iowa—where cornfields stretch across the horizon—wasn’t the first place one might expect a global food visionary to arise. Yet that’s where Deyvanna’s passion began to simmer.
In her childhood kitchen, Deyvanna learned to make biscuits from scratch and helped prep for family potlucks with recipes passed down through generations. But it wasn’t long before she started tweaking those recipes, adding unexpected zest and combining global flavors to create something new. Her interest in fusion experimentation was born from both tradition and rebellion—a desire to honor lineage while forging her own culinary narrative.
From Hobby to Vision
After studying culinary anthropology and working in community kitchens, Deyvanna noticed a gap in the food world: a lack of accessible, adventurous resources for home cooks. Too many people, she felt, viewed creativity in the kitchen as unattainable or overly complicated. Inspired to change that, she launched Poziukri as a platform not just for recipes, but for food dialogue—highlighting trends, discussing flavor possibilities, and demystifying kitchen techniques.
This blend of storytelling and practical guidance quickly gained traction. From her base in Kanawha, she began hosting online classes, local workshops, and eventually built Poziukri—a community of flavor explorers. Now a culinary brand with global reach, Poziukri inspires everyday chefs through curated insights, fusion recipes, and a dedication to food as both science and art.
Founding Poziukri
When Deyvanna formally began Poziukri, her mission was clear: take the fear out of the unfamiliar. Unlocking the potential of ingredients—from global spices to pulses and legumes—became her signature. She wanted to encourage anyone, regardless of background, to “cook with courage,” one recipe at a time. Centered in Kanawha but echoing across continents, Poziukri became a platform where food wasn’t confined to culture, but celebrated across boundaries.
Starting with a modest blog and growing into a full hub of food trends, prep guidance, and flavor insights, Deyvanna’s vision took root. She created the term “culinary pulse” to represent the living rhythm of food movements—how trends shift like seasons and how kitchens respond like heartbeats. The ‘Today Connect’ section of Poziukri carries this vision forward, offering a window into current tastes, techniques, and stories from around the world.
Leading with Encouragement
More than anything, Deyvanna leads Poziukri with empathy and optimism. She understands that not everyone grew up confident in the kitchen. Whether it’s someone learning to sauté onions without burning them or a seasoned cook venturing into tofu for the first time, Deyvanna’s tone is always warm, inclusive, and encouraging.
“Food is how we connect—with cultures, with loved ones, and with parts of ourselves we didn’t even know were hungry,” she says. Her tutorials focus on joy as much as technique. Mistakes are welcome. Curiosity is the main ingredient. From fusion flavor experiments to highlighting underrepresented cuisines, she creates space for everyone’s food journey.
The Flavor of Innovation
Deyvanna believes that innovation is rooted in understanding. To experiment successfully in the kitchen, one must first listen—to flavors, to textures, to little details others might overlook. Her process is intuitive yet rooted in knowledge. Each new Poziukri feature—whether it’s a bold pesto using edamame or a map of spice intersections from Asia and Latin America—aims to empower home chefs to embrace the unknown.
Her Iowa setting serves as fertile ground for this experimentation. Local farmers and food producers often collaborate with her to test locally grown pulses or incorporate seasonal vegetables in reinvented classics. At home in the Midwest but globally minded, Deyvanna represents a new breed of culinary thinkers that use geography not as limitation, but as a canvas.
Deyvanna’s Encouraging Insights
- Taste memory is powerful: Use it as inspiration, not restriction. What you grew up with can evolve.
- Don’t chase perfection: Chase curiosity. That’s where the magic lives.
- Ingredients shouldn’t be intimidating: If one recipe doesn’t work, try again differently. Mistakes are meals in disguise.
- Cooking is a conversation: Between ingredients, cultures, and people. Always be listening.
Each of these insights is at the heart of every Poziukri post, each infused with encouragement rather than instruction. That’s what makes it approachable, especially for beginners gaining confidence in their culinary voice.
Community-Driven Growth
For Deyvanna, food has always been about community. From starter circles built in her Kanawha kitchen to virtual “flavor geek” meetups, she fosters spaces that are more than just hosted—they’re cultivated. Innovation doesn’t exist in silos, which is why collaboration has always been a cornerstone of Poziukri’s growth. Whether featuring a home cook’s spice blend or uplifting a global grandmother’s recipe, her ethos of sharing runs deep.
Today, Poziukri operates actively from its vibrant Kanawha headquarters, open Monday–Friday: 9 AM–5 PM CST. Visitors drop by to chat flavor fusions, pick up curated spice kits, or take hands-on prep seminars. And for those afar, Deyvanna’s digital presence replicates the same spirit of warmth and accessibility. A quick message to [email protected] often leads to a collaborative feature or a one-on-one kitchen Q&A.
Why Poziukri Matters
Through Deyvanna’s leadership, Poziukri builds more than meals. It grows momentum for inclusive food exploration. In a world increasingly fragmented, food remains a bridge. Under her guidance, that bridge is flavorful, welcoming, and endlessly improvisational. Her followers find a safe place to embrace flavor risks and celebrate success not just in cactus tacos or black garlic gnocchi—but in laughing through flops and learning as they go.
“Growth doesn’t just happen in your career,” she likes to say, “it happens on your plate.” That’s what Poziukri means—progress through cooking, growth through gathering. And for Deyvanna, who still spends afternoons stirring soup and scribbling new combinations, growth is never ending—it’s a lifelong feast.
Looking Forward
From Kanawha all the way to Kuala Lumpur, Poziukri’s impact is growing every day. Deyvanna’s future plans include launching a series of fusion spice journals, interactive cooking maps, and seed storytelling from food traditions around the world. But no matter how big the platform grows, she insists that its roots remain humble, inclusive, and full of heart.
Curious cooks, culinary rebels, quiet kitchen learners—everyone is invited. The journey of growth, on your own terms, starts with cracking an egg, lighting a stove, and seeing what happens. With Deyvanna Zelthanna leading the way, Poziukri guarantees that you’re not alone.
