Hi, I’m Chef Ashley
Ashley Canterbury

I create globally inspired private dining with a Caribbean flair.

I curate bespoke, globally inspired dining with a Caribbean flair

I am a Le Cordon Bleu alumna with 10+ years in professional kitchens—from colleges and airports to hotels, restaurants, and nursing homes—experiences that shaped my technique, creativity, and versatility. Pursuing my lifelong dream, I now work as a Private Chef, crafting unforgettable dining experiences that balance precision with soul.

I draw from Italian, Mediterranean, Latin, and Asian cuisines, all elevated with my signature Caribbean touch. I build close relationships with my clients, tailoring every menu to their tastes, dietary needs, and occasions—because food to me is an experience, a story, and a way to bring people together.

I cook for my clients like I cook for my family—with love. Seeing my clients truly enjoy my cooking is my greatest reward.

Here’s what I bring to your table

I tell stories through food

I tell my story through food. Cooking has many volumes—it can be simple, bold, or vibrant.

I learned by watching—and then leading

I learned to cook by watching the Food Network and by being in the kitchen with my mom. As I grew older, she let me take over, and that sparked the path I’m on today.

I cook with love, like for my family

I cook for my clients the way I cook for my family—with love. Seeing my clients truly enjoy my cooking is my greatest reward.

Chef Ashley was literally amazing. She was a wonderful person to be around and the taste & presentation of the food was icing on the cake. Myself and other members of my party got her card for future use just because she was that good. We are so thankful for the experience with her!

— Brandon Collins

Chef Ashley was very professional and kept me updated prior to our event. She arrived on time and ready to prepare. I didn’t know she would be using my pots and pans until the day before, but we made it work. I would recommend her to any friends looking to host a private brunch. One of our guests had to cancel and I never received a refund on that, but that may be the policy. Thank you for a great day!

— Joanna Bonder

Amazing!!! Chef Ashley Canterbury provided us with an amazing and intimate dinner with an incredible 4 course experience. She was punctual, professional, and polite. Each meal was amazing! She explained exactly what each were and once it was complete she cleaned the kitchen spotless. Not to mention we had leftovers as well which she boxed in containers for later. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great experience.
