About
I have always been interested in cooking in a broad array of cuisines. I have been fortunate to be exposed to so many different types of foods as I've traveled the world and lived abroad in Jamaica, Nice and Paris France. While living in Jamaica with my husband we owned a B&B (before airb&b) and offered a full menu that included meals from all around the world with lots of happy customers from many countries. Living in the French Riviera and Paris we were able to dine at some of the top restuarants. I recently moved to Raleigh from the San Francisco Bay Area, which remains the top culinary destination in the US. I enjoy being able to get the finest ingrediants to cook from my travels, from African and Carribean to French, Italian, and beyond.
My price includes all of your meals' ingredients, and a yummy meal, usually with leftovers for you to take home. You can also bring your own wine for a $10 corkage fee, or we'll have well-paired wines available for an additional purchase.
I enjoy learning about different tastes from around the world and perfecting them in my own kitchen.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to make an initial contact through this platform and share phone numbers so that we can speak directly and nail down all the details. On the night you reserve, I like to start with an appetizer that comes together reasonably quickly, and then proceed to two more dishes that are more involved, either another appetizer and one main, or two mains, depending on what you want when we have our telephone conversation. If there are leftovers, I'll pack them up for you to take home; it's up to you whether you pass them off as your own, or put your new skills to work for your next guests.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Chef at Allspice Bed and Breakfast, Montego Bay Jamaica;
20 years of international cooking experience;
Extensive exposure to Continental cuisines.
