Meet the Chef

I’m more than a private chef, I’m a creator in the kitchen. I bring soul to every plate and imagination to every recipe. My style is rooted in authenticity, passion, and bold simplicity. Whether I’m curating a menu for an intimate dinner or crafting a private chef experience, every meal I make is about connection, through culture, flavor, and feeling. I’m all about turning everyday moments into food that feels unforgettable.

BEHIND THE BRAND

Meet Nicole
“Chef Nikki” Blake

Hey, I’m Nicole Blake, most people know me as Chef Nikki. I started Nikki’s Kitchen on a dare from friends, and what began as “just selling a few plates” quickly turned into a full-time business. I didn’t go to culinary school. I built this from the ground up with nothing but natural talent, passion, and a real love for food.

My roots are Jamaican, my flavors are global, and my energy? Always real.

​

I’m currently building a seasoning line, rolling out curated recipes, and designing hands-on cooking classes that actually teach, not just entertain. No fluff, no pretense, just good food, creativity, and a deep sense of purpose in everything I do.

Over the years, I’ve grown into a private chef serving high-profile clients, including Carmelo Anthony. But more than the names, what matters to me is making food that makes people feel something.
