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.

What We Stand For

The Kiss Yo Mama way

Scratch-made, always

Every patty folded by hand, every jerk pimento-smoked, every pot braised until it gives in. No shortcuts — ever.

Cooked for your people

Food is how we gather. We bring the island to your home, your celebration, your table — made to be shared, loudly.

Island soul, real roots

Scotch bonnet, pimento and thyme — bold, generous, unapologetic. Recipes carried from home, cooked the honest way.
