Get to know me better

A culturally-driven chef reimagining soulful Jamaican cuisine with heart, precision, and bold flavor.

Chef Vince | Modern Jamaican Dining, Rooted in Soul

I'm Chef Vince – founder of IRIE Kitchen and curator of elevated Jamaican dining experiences. With over 8 years of culinary and hospitality experience, my cooking blends traditional Caribbean flavors with modern technique and thoughtful presentation. Every dish I serve is rooted in culture, memory, and soul – whether it's a refined take on jerk chicken, a bold vegan course, or a family-style spread that brings people together.

My goal is simple: to create food that feels like home but tastes like nowhere else you've been.

Let me bring the IRIE experience to your table.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is a way to honor where I come from while creating something entirely new it’s storytelling, healing, and connection served on a plate

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook at a young age, around 12, in my family’s kitchen where flavor, rhythm, and tradition taught me more than any cookbook ever could.

A cooking secret...

Let the ingredients speak first, then bring it all together with instinct, balance, and just enough soul to make it unforgettable.
