Chef Ricardo Raynor grew up at his grandma’s side, creating Jamaican dishes that captured the tastes, the spirit, and the feeling of the Caribbean island she had once called home.

 

His love of the feelings and flavors set him on a path to sharing the world it inspired. After grounding his knowledge in a culinary arts degree, Chef Raynor took his talents to corporate kitchens that expanded that palate and helped him take his native love of island flavors to new culinary heights. Today, he brings that inspiration, training, and joy of flavor to people and organizations around the Commonwealth through Chef Raynor’s Kitchen, building on the tastes and flavors that grounded his work to create the moments of flavor and connection the best food builds.

 

His philosophy is simple: the fusion of island flavors with the disciplines and nuance of top-tier restaurants around the world. Food inspired by the heart and captured through complex flavor done simply, beautifully, and tastefully.

 

Cooking that makes you feel the love with every bite.
