About Chef Lisa Marie

Born and raised in New Orleans, I grew up surrounded by bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and the kind of home cooking that brings people together. Some of my earliest memories are in the kitchen with my mother and grandmother learning how food should look, smell, taste and most importantly, how it should make people feel.

That foundation shaped my lifelong passion for cooking with intention, creativity, and care.

After more than 25 years in corporate America, I made the decision to step fully into my passion becoming a professional personal chef and creating meaningful food experiences for others.

Today, I bring that experience into my clients’ homes across the Dallas/Fort Worth area through customized, in-home culinary services designed to make life easier and more enjoyable.
