Owner and Private Chef

Picture
Latasha Dorsey, better known as Chef Tasha is an independent personal chef on the rise; her creativity plus ability to execute not only match her passion for the culinary art, but makes for many satisfied customers in the process. Starting with fruit, cheese and vegetable platters only, Chef Tasha’s Yummy Creations had no choice but to expand to an assortment of appetizers and finger food entrées after an overwhelming amount of curiosity. 

Although she knew her way around the kitchen at the tender age of 12, Chef Tasha credits her craft to time spent studying Culinary Arts at Los Angeles Trade Tech, Le Cordon Bleu of Atlanta, as well as experience as a waitress in Washington D.C, a food prep for a vegetarian restaurant in Atlanta, and supplying food professionals at Surfas Culinary District in Culver City.

Today Chef Tasha's services include full on site catering, deliveries, private dinners and even hosts her own web series on YouTube entitled Show You How To Chef.
