Chef Jamila Bowen

Chef Jamila offers discerning clients a seamless, world class private dining and provisioning experience tailored to luxury homes, yachts, and exclusive retreats.

With a career spanning over seventeen years and multiple locations , she combines the rigorous standards of fine dining establishments, with the logistical mastery required for a remote galley, home and villa service.
