Cooking Style
A self-described Southern Belle with Caribbean roots, Chef Jamika’s cooking style is “Caribbean Heat meets Southern Sweet,'' and her mouth-wateringly delicious recipes offer bold flavors and unexpected twists for meals for any occasion. Jamika’s biggest culinary influence was her Caribbean grandmother, who showed her how to cook great meals by adding a “pinch of this,” and a “splash of that,” and how to host a great party by making sure that everyone at her table felt well-fed and well-loved. Today, Chef Jamika serves her recipes with a healthy side of motivation by sharing her own personal stories, to help you create the life of your dreams, with your own special twist.
