Bring Chef Tenisha to Your TableClassically trained.
Experience shaped.
Chef Tenisha’s culinary journey blends formal culinary education, restaurant experience, kitchen leadership and a passion for creating memorable dining experiences. Her foundation includes training at Le Cordon Bleu, where she developed the technical skills and discipline that continue to influence her cooking today.
Her professional background includes experience connected with respected Atlanta dining establishments such as Ray’s in the City and STK Atlanta, along with Tastee Spoon and Freckled & Blue. Those environments helped strengthen her range across elevated dining, comfort food, presentation and high-volume service.
After bringing her talents to St. Croix, Chef Tenisha continued expanding her Caribbean hospitality experience through Bon Manjer and leadership roles as Head Chef at Island Vybez Deli, Tipsy Iguana, Rehab Sports Bar & Lounge, and Rum Haven, where she created unique menus designed around each concept and its guests.
Today, that combination of classical training, restaurant kitchens, island cuisine, menu development, private dining and catering comes together through Sweet & Spicy Sensations. Chef Tenisha’s goal is not simply to serve a meal, but to create an experience guests remember.
