Caila Sims Holmes | Private Chef & Culinary Visionary

With over a decade of professional culinary experience, I’ve mastered the art of curating extraordinary dining experiences that blend global inspiration with soulful creativity. My background in fine dining and event catering allows me to transform any occasion from intimate dinners to luxury celebrations.

My expertise spans a wide range of cuisines, including French, Italian, Caribbean, Southern comfort, BBQ, Asian, and Indian. I’m passionate about merging traditional techniques with innovative flavours balancing refinement and warmth, elegance and soul. Every dish is crafted to impress both the palate and the eye, designed with intention, artistry, and depth of flavour.

From delicate seafood and handmade pastas to bold Caribbean fusion and rich global comfort fare, my menus are fully customized to each client’s vision. I take pride in creating experiences that feel deeply personal, beautifully plated, and entirely memorable.

My mission is simple: to create food that connects food that tells a story, awakens emotion, and leaves every guest talking long after the last bite.

For me, cooking is...

An act of love, a sacred way to connect, serve, and pour my heart into every dish that nourishes both Body and Spirit.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook in fine dining restaurants under master chefs and honed my craft at Humber College, where I graduated with Culinary Management Cert

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen is simply God’s guidance and pure love in every creation, turning each dish into a blessing from the heart.
