Chef Ashley Canterbury
Private Chef in Austell
Get to know me better
Seeing how much people truly enjoy my cooking, is my greatest reward as a Chef.
I am an alumna of Le Cordon Bleu with over 10 years of professional culinary experience. My career journey has taken me through a variety of kitchens—colleges, airports, hotels, restaurants, and nursing homes each shaping my skills, creativity, and versatility.
Pursuing my lifelong dream, I now specialize as a Private Chef, where I combine technique, global inspiration, and personal creativity to curate unforgettable dining experiences. My repertoire includes Italian, Mediterranean, Latin, and Asian cuisines—all brought together with my signature Caribbean flair.
Beyond cooking, I value building strong client relationships, tailoring each menu to their tastes, dietary needs, and occasions. For me, food is more than a meal—it’s an experience, a story, and a way to connect people.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
Telling a story about yourself through food. Cooking has so many volumes where it can be simple, bold or vibrant.
I learned to cook at...
I learned to cook from watching the Food Network as well as my mom in the kitchen. Until when I got older and she allowed me to take over.
A cooking secret...
To cook for my clients like I’m cooking for my family…with Love!! Seeing my clients truly enjoy my cooking is my greatest reward as a Chef.
