About Chef Alicia

Chef Alicia’s roots run deep in the South and across the small island of Jamaica, influences that continue to shape the way she approaches food. But her culinary talent goes far beyond any one cuisine, culture, or style. She is a versatile, well-rounded chef who can create just about anything placed in front of her.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Alicia originally pursued medicine, a more practical and affordable path than culinary school. Still, the kitchen always had her attention. She grew up surrounded by fresh ingredients, family farm-to-table meals, homegrown produce, and a family that taught her to appreciate both great food and healthy living. With her head in cookbooks and her eyes on the adults around her, Alicia became largely self-taught, developing her skills across a wide range of cuisines and techniques.

Her medical background, combined with her father’s influence and her culinary experience, eventually shaped her unique approach to food: creating meals that are both enjoyable and thoughtfully balanced.

Today, Alicia’s purpose is simple: create food around the person, not the other way around. Through personalized meals, she considers each client’s tastes, cravings, lifestyle, dietary needs, and nutritional goals. She handles the calories, sodium, fats, and nutritional details so her clients can enjoy the foods they love without feeling restricted or guilty.

Since 2015, Alicia has professionally shared her culinary art throughout Los Angeles, Joshua Tree, New Jersey, and beyond. Her experience includes coordinating kitchens in recovery facilities, working in popular Los Angeles restaurants, and serving as a culinary lead for a confidential YouTube production where she created more than 15 dishes a day for three days, earning an on-set “Job Innovator” award for her work.

When she isn’t in the kitchen, Alicia can usually be found discovering a new farm, hunting down a hole-in-the-wall restaurant for one specific dish, taking a spontaneous road trip, or tending to her garden.

Her Southern and Jamaican roots may influence her flavor, but they do not define her limits. Chef Alicia creates food without limitations, because every client deserves a culinary experience made specifically for them.
