At Pretty Pâté, every bite tells a story—of heritage, of family, and of the quiet moments that live on in memory. The brand’s founder, Noushky Fabius, built her Caribbean-inspired culinary business not only to share the flavors she grew up with, but also to preserve something far deeper: the legacy of the woman who first taught her to cook.
This year, Pretty Pâté is launching a meaningful initiative—donating a portion of proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Association. The decision is deeply personal for Fabius, whose grandmother now lives with dementia. Once the heart of every family meal, her grandmother played a central role in shaping the founder’s relationship with food, culture, and the simple joy of preparing meals with love.
Fabius grew up side by side with her grandmother in the kitchen, learning to cook with fresh ingredients, patience, and care. Cooking wasn’t just a chore in their home—it was a way of bonding and expressing love. Through those shared moments, Fabius developed a lifelong appreciation for flavor and tradition, one that would eventually become the foundation of Pretty Pâté.

As her grandmother’s condition progressed, those memories became more precious. Dementia, like Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases, often erodes memory slowly and painfully. For Fabius, witnessing this decline made the need to honor and preserve her grandmother’s influence all the more urgent. Pretty Pâté became a way to keep her grandmother’s spirit alive—through food, through tradition, and now, through action.
With this new pledge to support the Alzheimer’s Association, Pretty Pâté is extending its mission beyond the kitchen. The brand’s contribution helps fund research, raise awareness, and support those living with Alzheimer’s and their families. In doing so, the company is offering more than just delicious Haitian-style pâtés—it’s offering solidarity to those affected by memory loss, and hope for progress in treatment and care.
This commitment also aligns with the values that define the brand. From the beginning, Pretty Pâté has stood for more than flavor; it represents care, community, and cultural pride. Fabius, who previously worked in healthcare as an echocardiologist, applies the same level of detail and precision to her cooking as she once did in her medical career. But it’s her personal experiences that give the brand its heart.
Each Pretty Pâté offering—from beef to garlic shrimp and mozzarella to oxtail—is rooted in cultural authenticity, shaped by the ingredients and techniques passed down from generations. These savory pastries have resonated with customers not just for their taste, but for their ability to evoke memory. Many who try them are reminded of their own family recipes and kitchen rituals, and for some, the connection is immediate and emotional.
That powerful link between food and memory is something Fabius understands intimately. Even as memory fades, familiar flavors can spark recognition, emotion, and connection. This understanding has shaped the company’s identity and inspired its ongoing efforts to give back.
As Pretty Pâté continues to grow, the brand remains focused on delivering high-quality, culturally rich food with purpose. Supporting the Alzheimer’s Association is one way to deepen that purpose—by honoring the people and memories that shaped the founder’s journey and by contributing to a future where fewer families face the pain of watching loved ones disappear piece by piece.
Pretty Pâté invites its customers to join in that mission. Every purchase is not just a meal—it’s a tribute to memory, a celebration of culture, and a small but powerful step toward progress in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
