Chef Camille Mayers

I’m Chef Camille Mayers, a private chef with over 15 years of experience creating deeply personal dining experiences inspired by the flavours of the Caribbean, the global diaspora, and the incredible people I’ve met around the world. Food, to me, is more than nourishment; it’s memory, connection, and the feeling of coming home.

One of the greatest compliments I receive is that my food makes people feel nostalgic. Whether it’s a family recipe reimagined or a dish inspired by travels abroad, my goal is always the same: to create meals that transport you, to your childhood, your culture, your favourite vacation, or a moment you never want to forget.

My culinary journey has taken me far beyond professional kitchens. I’ve immersed myself in the food cultures of Naples, Rome, Bologna, Milan, Pistoia, and Florence, learning traditional techniques and philosophies that continue to shape my cooking today. Along the way, I’ve also found inspiration in the vibrant cuisines of Istanbul, Mexico, Aruba, Saint Martin, France, Costa Rica, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, and countless regions throughout the United States. Every destination has left its mark on my table, and every culture has taught me something invaluable about hospitality.

Based in Toronto, Canada, I’m available for worldwide travel as a private chef for luxury vacations, retreats, destination weddings, wellness experiences, and extended stays. I love sourcing local ingredients, collaborating with local producers, and designing menus that honour both the destination and the people I’m cooking for.

When you invite me into your home or join me on your travels, you’re getting more than a chef. You’re inviting someone who believes that the best meals tell stories, spark conversation, and create the kind of memories that linger long after the last bite.
