I serve love on a plate—bringing Southern hospitality and bold, memorable flavors to your table.

Tamekia Jackson

I create soulful, hospitality-driven dining experiences with precision and heart.

I’m a professional chef with over 13 years of culinary experience, and I’m proud to be from Mississippi. My cooking is rooted in Southern hospitality, and I love seeing the warm smiles that come after someone tastes what I’ve created.

I’ve cooked in restaurants and hotels, and I also cooked in the military while serving in the Air Force. That mix of comfort, discipline, and creativity shapes how I plan menus and deliver experiences—thoughtful, polished, and always personal.

Cooking is all and my entire life.

I bring heart, discipline, and creativity to every plate I serve.

Cooking is my life’s work

Cooking is all and my entire life, and I bring that energy into every event—whether I’m creating comfort classics or building bold, modern flavors that surprise you in the best way.

I learned from family and built my craft professionally

I learned to cook at home first with my grandparents, and I’ve grown that foundation through years of professional kitchens—restaurants, hotels, and military service in the Air Force—so I can deliver both warmth and consistency every time.

I lead with love and perfection

My love and desire for perfection of my dishes allow me to create something wonderful, and I treat every detail—from seasoning to presentation—as a chance to make your experience unforgettable.

Alicia Guevara

We were celebrating my husband's 60th birthday and arranged for a private chef to come to our house as a surprise. Tamekia was awesome, not only as a chef but as a person. She was warm and personable, and the food was amazing! She offered several options in her proposal and was open to making changes, as well as being accommodating to food sensitivities. I highly recommend you request Tamekia for your next event.
