Scratch-made, always
Every patty folded by hand, every jerk pimento-smoked, every pot braised until it gives in. No shortcuts — ever.
Our Story
Mama's recipes,
island heart.
How a pot of oxtail and a folded patty became a private chef experience for Vancouver's tables.

Meet the Chef
Chef Lisa L. Brown
Lisa grew up in a kitchen that never went quiet — pimento in the air, a pot of something braising low, family crowded around a loud, happy table. Those Sunday rituals became her language, and Kiss Yo Mama is how she speaks it.
After years cooking for the people she loves, she turned it into a calling: bringing real Jamaican soul food straight to your home and your events. No storefront, no shortcuts — just Chef Lisa, her recipes, and a menu built around your gathering.
