Dee's Champion Cuisine was birthed from chef Dee's passion to serve people. Throughout her life she has been affectionately called "Mama Dee". Her nurturing spirit has been a driving force in her love for cooking. Since she was 8 years old she has been in the kitchen cooking and baking as a passion. She started out cooking for her parents at the young age of 8 not knowing that this would lead to a legacy of service through food. During the summer of her junior year her paternal grandmother passed away and she was tasked with the job of cooking for her uncles before they went to work the family demolition business every morning. She took pride in serving them a hot delicious breakfast with an assortment of ideas. "Mama Dee" did not stop there. As she ran around the track in college, she cooked and baked for her teammates, roommates, basketball team and football team friends. Once she married and became a pastor alongside her husband the cooking continued and was incorporated as a service from her heart.
