Introduction
Our Story
Over the past 14 years, I’ve honed my skills in various kitchens, starting in fine dining, where I learned the importance of precision and technique. My roots, however, have always been grounded in the soulful flavors of the dishes I grew up with. Raised on soul food, I developed a deep appreciation for rich, comforting flavors. Along the way, I also fell in love with the vibrant and bold tastes of Jamaican cuisine, which has had a profound influence on my cooking style.
My passion for food is not just about cooking — it’s about creating experiences, telling stories, and celebrating culture through every dish. Whether I’m preparing a classic soul food dish or experimenting with Jamaican spices, I pour my heart into everything I make. Cooking is my art, and there’s nothing I’d rather do than share that with others.

Chef Desi is one of the only people in the United States of America I would ever trust to prepare food for me and my family. Not only is she extremely efficient, always on time, has a wide range of food choices, and a very sophisticated pallet, she also made It her personal mission to make sure my event was as regal as the Met Gala. When I tell you, there is no better food youll find on the East Coast, I mean that. There is no price you can put on the amount of love, dedication, sophistication, and professionalism She puts into every plate. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not considering working with this amazing chef. So go..tell your friends, your family, your coworkers and even your local mailman about this phenomenal Artist in the kitchen. Thank me later
