My 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.

 

De'Vette LLC is the personal chef and catering services company I founded, where I proudly serve as CEO. De'Vette LLC is not just a business — it’s an extension of my love for food, culture, and community.

 

​I'm proudly building something truly special — a brand that is as much about excellence and authenticity as it is about good food and unforgettable experiences.
