Get to know me better

I'm a chef who blends classic technique with soul, turning every menu into a personal, elevated experience for my guests.

With over 20 years of culinary experience, Chef Tameka brings a refined yet approachable style to every table she serves. A graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, she has built a career spanning private chef work, corporate dining, large-scale event production, and culinary education — most recently serving as an Executive Chef Instructor at The Ohio State University.

Tameka specializes in soul food reimagined through a modern, elevated lens — blending Southern tradition with refined technique. Her menus are built around choice, offering guests multiple options at every course so each meal feels personal. From intimate tasting menus and Mediterranean fine dining to lively BBQ celebrations, Italian buffets, and afternoon tea services, she designs each experience around the client's vision.

Known for her precision, creativity, and genuine care for her clients, Tameka treats every event — big or small — with the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that two decades in professional kitchens have taught her.
