My passion is everything food. It is my art and joy. I love to bring that passion into your home to bring warmth and strength through food and healthy balanced nutrition. I work very well under pressure, as well as am a highly organized and clean individual. I often work alone and am able to complete numerous tasks in a timely and effective manner. I’ve owned my business as a private chef, mother’s assistant and house keeper for over 5 years now. I have multiple references. It’s a beautiful gift to be welcomed into people’s homes and families, and to be given the opportunity to help in a small way for their life to be made better. I love all the families I work for and look forward to working with new clients in the future. I have over 5 years experience working as a private chef for numerous families. I worked as a private chef in Paris for 1 year where I studied French and other cuisines. I’ve worked in commercial kitchens and cafeterias, as well as 10+ years in the restaurant industry as a server/ bartender. My passion is bringing beautiful fresh flavours together while creating balanced nutrient rich plates that bring people together and fuel us to be our best.

My name is Riley and I am a professional chef offering my private dining, meal preparation, and event services to all new clients. I am an Ottawa local, born and raised in Kanata with a love and passion for the culinary arts. My journey has taken me through fine dining restaurants, commercial kitchens, and hotel environments, where I developed a strong appreciation for both elevated cuisine and the importance of consistency, organization, and thoughtful execution. A little over a year ago, I took a leap of faith and launched my own personal chef company, The Chef Nextdoor. This business is truly a reflection of my dream and passion — cooking for families and busy individuals in a way that brings comfort, ease, and peace of mind to their everyday lives. I understand how overwhelming daily cooking can be, and my goal is to remove that stress by providing thoughtfully prepared meals in advance, tailored to your tastes, lifestyle, and dietary needs. I believe food should be more than just nourishment — it should feel familiar, satisfying, and comforting, while still being exciting and made with care. Whether you’re looking for refined comfort food, wholesome family meals, or something a little elevated, I take pride in creating dishes that feel personal and intentional. Building genuine connections with my clients is incredibly important to me, and I approach every household with the same level of care and professionalism I would want for my own family. I would truly love the opportunity to cook for you and your family and become a trusted part of your routine, helping make mealtimes simpler, more enjoyable, and something you can look forward to each week I knew I wanted to be a chef since a very young age. I’ve been working in commercial kitchens since the age of 15. I started my culinary journey at a small fish and chip restaurant in Kanata; now known as StrEATS. I worked there for 4 years, starting off as a dishwasher/kitchen helper and ending off as a line cool supervisor. After I left, I started working at Lone Star as a fry cook. I got promoted to headline and left Lone Star after 2 years to attend culinary school. During my first semester, I started working at the National Arts Centre as a third cook. After around 9 months at the NAC, I received an offer I could not refuse. I left the NAC and started working for the renowned Beckta Group at Play Food and Wine. I have been at play for almost 3 years now and am a senior line cook. I love what I do, I love feeding families and making people happy with my art. I have been in the private sector for about a year now and would love the opportunity to cook for you and your family I graduated from the Culinary Management program at Algonquin College. I also have my WHMIS, OHSA, Food Handlers, and Smart Serve certifications.

Private/personal cook, Family cook

I am a passionate home cook who loves creating meals and baked goods that bring people together. I often cook and bake for friends when hosting, and I’ve also helped cater small gatherings with a mix of savory dishes, desserts, and even homemade mocktails. Cooking is a creative outlet for me, and I enjoy experimenting with flavors and developing my own recipes. Recently, I’ve worked on items like caramel chai pumpkin bars and matcha cookies, and I love exploring different cuisines—from making bao buns from scratch to preparing dishes like shrimp gyoza and egg rolls. My approach to cooking is influenced by my background and experiences. I am African and grew up traveling, which has shaped my appreciation for a wide range of cuisines and techniques from around the world. I am also very mindful of dietary restrictions and food safety. I have experience cooking for people with allergies and specific diets, and I take cross-contamination and ingredient awareness seriously. I can either create a customized menu for small events or meal prep, or follow your specific preferences and recipes to bring your vision to life. I am organized, attentive, and committed to making the experience enjoyable and stress-free. Outside of cooking, I enjoy reading and hiking, and I bring that same sense of curiosity and care into the kitchen. I love hosting and baking and I have cooked for many people who really like the taste of my food. I cooked for friends events in the past for about 10 people. I also have a nice repertoire of baked goods such as seasonal dessert (pumpkin cookies, or black forest) that always leave a nice impression on guests. I have developed menus and three course meals. I also have experience meal prepping for the week; freezer friendly meals, meals that reheat well (sweet and savory).
