Chef Chanel Heslop

Hi, I’m Chanel Heslop — a passionate private chef with roots in Jamaica and a deep love for bringing people together through food.

My culinary journey began in Jamaica, where I earned my Associate Degree in Culinary Arts, building a strong foundation in classic Caribbean techniques and flavors. I later advanced my studies in North Miami, Florida, completing my Bachelor’s Degree in Culinary Arts and Food Service Management, which helped me master both the creative and professional sides of the kitchen.

In 2019, I launched my own catering company, Chinello Catering, offering personalized dining experiences and sweet baked treats that quickly became local favorites. Now, I’m expanding that passion through my new juice brand, Skweeze n’ Sekkle — a refreshing line of tropical, health-conscious blends that capture the same heart and flavor as my food.

My cooking style blends tropical and Caribbean influences with modern techniques, focusing on fresh ingredients, balanced nutrition, and dishes that feel both comforting and vibrant. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a family gathering, or a private celebration, I bring flavor, care, and island soul to every experience.
