You might have seen her on Food Network!!! Chef Jasmin Renée embodies our favorite part of food. You know it. It was your grandma, mom and favorite aunt’s secret ingredient: love. Although she grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Chef Jasmin traces her roots back to Louisiana, where creole recipes have been passed down for generations. While Chef Jasmin is trained in both Classic French and American cuisine, her heart lies with Louisiana French Creole. She prides herself in being able to elevate down home classics and transform them from ordinary to extraordinary. “I have taken my classically trained skills, and my family recipes and turned them into something special.” Some of her esteemed clients have included: Comcast, Jack & Jill (Philadelphia), Urban League, Philadelphia Link Inc., Rutgers University, Bread for the City, as well as professional athletes from both the NBA and NFL.
After graduating from Hampton University with a degree in Marketing, Jasmin moved to New York City to work in fashion and marketing merchandising for Ralph Lauren and Jones Group, Inc. The call of the kitchen eventually lured her back to Philly, where she apprenticed for acclaimed Chef Daniel Stern. Under his tutelage, Chef Jasmin rose through the ranks eventually going from apprentice to prep cook at Chef Stern’s acclaimed R2L restaurant. She went on to expand her career working for Starr Group Restaurants such as, Butcher & Singer, Barclay Prime, and Parc. She served as Sous Chef the infamous Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Exec Chef of the Rubin Museum.
