The Chef
Chef Calise
Calise Curry
Jacksonville-born, Chef Calise learned to cook beside her father and grandparents. Their kitchen taught her that food is how we say you matter.
With more than eleven years in the culinary business, she has built dessert catering into full-service catering, led kitchens as a head chef, and seen her wedding cakes featured in Premier Bride. She is FAU Hospitality & Tourism certified and ServSafe certified. She is also a mother of four, who built a luxury brand from vision. In 2025, she launched Velvet Fork Cuisine.
Every plate tells a story. I want yours to be unforgettable.
