Hi, I’m Shonni — born and raised in Barbados, now based in NYC for over 13 years. I’m a self-taught chef whose culinary journey started in the kitchens of my grandparents. Their love and legacy live on in every meal I create. Through DappaMeals, I blend the bold, sun-soaked spices of Caribbean cuisine with the warmth and comfort of Southern classics. Whether I’m catering a baby shower or prepping weekly meals, my goal is simple, to make every dish unforgettable.
