VHAF55 - Eryka E. Perry - Chef

Eryka Perry, Chef, entrepreneur, and all around foodie has been playing in the kitchen since she was old enough to reach the stove. She has had the opportunity to travel a small part of the world experiencing the craft of others and honing her own. The combination of having a diverse family from different parts of the world coupled with her military travels have greatly influenced her style of cooking. She began her education as a bio-premed student which expanded her love and knowledge of the human body. By traveling a small portion of the world in the USAR, her love, curiosity and knowledge of the diversity of regional and cultural cuisine broadened prompting her to pursue a degree in Culinary Arts. She soon learned to combine those passions. Eryka has had the pleasure of being on the team of influential and landmark hotels and restaurants across the US in positions varying from line cook to executive chef. In 2010 after working for several notable chef’s and restaurants, obtaining degrees & accolades, and experiencing rapid growth in personal clients, she founded Not Just Catering. Her mission from day one was to bring smiles by providing delicious whole healthy meals and 100% personalized service. As this journey continues her experience & passion, the vision, the company and the mission have continued to grow and evolve.
