Private Chef & Catering Specialist in Barbados | Creating memorable culinary experiences for intimate dinners, celebrations & luxury in-home dining
I’m Chef Jamaal Blackman — a Barbadian private chef with over a decade of experience in professional kitchens, resorts, and boutique catering. As the owner of EM Catering and AJ’s Chill Grill, I’ve built my career on blending vibrant Caribbean flavours with global culinary techniques to create dishes that feel familiar, yet excitingly modern.
My training at BCCHI and hands-on experience at top properties including Sandals Resorts and Elegant Resorts have shaped my approach to cooking: precise technique, fresh ingredients, bold flavours, and a commitment to exceptional hospitality.
Whether I’m preparing a refined multi-course dinner, a themed tasting menu, or a relaxed family-style brunch, my goal is always the same — "Sculpting Memories With Every Bite"

A cooking secret...
