I create unforgettable at-home dining experiences inspired by Japanese, Italian, French, and American cuisine.

Valencia Kerr

I bring fine-dining technique and global flavors to your table—crafted for your moment.

I’m Valencia Kerr, a private chef with over 15 years of experience blending Japanese, Italian, French, and American cuisine into menus that feel both elevated and personal. I grew up in Miami’s diverse food scene, and my passion deepened when I began working at Zuma Miami, where I fell in love with Japanese flavors and technique.

My journey has taken me through world-class kitchens including Nobu, Morimoto, and Novikov, and I’m a two-time winner of The Hungry Black Man Food Competition. Today I bring that same precision, creativity, and warmth to intimate dinners, celebrations, and bespoke culinary experiences—so every course tells a story and every bite feels like a celebration.

Let’s plan your dinner

My secret in the kitchen is a dash of passion and a pinch of patience—because great flavors come from love, attention, and taking the time to perfect.

I cook with intention, technique, and a sense of connection.

I cook to connect

For me, cooking is a form of expression and connection—an art that brings people together, tells a story, and creates memorable experiences.

I learned early, and I never stopped growing

I learned to cook at a young age by watching my aunt and my father, and I loved jumping in alongside them. That early curiosity became my career, shaped by years of professional kitchens and a constant drive to refine my craft.

I believe patience is part of flavor

My philosophy is simple: I lead with passion and patience. I take the time to get the details right, because the best meals come from care, attention, and a thoughtful finish.

Valencia’s Menus

I offer curated multi-course menus that balance tradition and creativity, using seasonal ingredients and fine-dining techniques. Whether you’re planning an intimate omakase night, an Italian-inspired dinner, or a playful surprise menu, I tailor the experience to your occasion.
