Hello,

​

My name is Imani Collette and welcome to Village Chef & Co. LLC. Where exceptional dining experiences are crafted with years of culinary expertise and a passion for creating unforgettable dinning moments. With nearly a decade in the industry, my journey as a chef has taken me from the hallowed halls of culinary school to the bustling kitchens of renowned country clubs and establishments. Allowing me the freedom to explore culinary in many ways.  Along the way, I've cultivated a deep understanding of flavors, techniques, and the art of good food. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, I specialize in curating personalized menus that showcase ingredients and reflect the unique tastes and preferences of each client.

 

Hailing from the DMV area (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia) and have lived and cooked in all three states. However, one thing remains the same no matter where I go. That is, nothing makes me happier than for my food to bring joy, smiles, and satisfaction. I consider good food a passion. As a result, Village Chef & Co. LLC was created. Join me on a culinary journey where each dish is a work of art, and every event is an opportunity to create cherished memories through the joy of exceptional food and hospitality. Together, let's elevate your dining experiences to new heights. My team and I look forward to serving you soon.
