I bring luxury-level service to soulful comfort cuisine—crafted for intimate, memorable moments.

I’m Lashema, founder of Shema’s Homestyle Cooking, a luxury homestyle catering and private dining brand based in Atlanta. I specialize in elevated comfort cuisine that blends soulful Southern roots with refined presentation, creating intimate experiences that feel both welcoming and unforgettable.

My cooking is inspired by family tradition, cultural heritage, and my love for serving others. I’ve catered the AAMBC Awards Show (recognized for excellence in catering and high-level event service), and I’ve also worked for the late celebrity Mickey Lee—an experience that strengthened my professionalism, discretion, and commitment to luxury service. I focus on private chef services, in-home dining, and special events tailored to your vision, with every menu curated with intention.

My secret in the kitchen is putting love and intention into every dish while elevating simple, comforting flavors into something unforgettable.

I bring a journey rooted in family and refined by high-level events

I learned to cook in my family’s kitchen, where I grew up watching and helping my loved ones create soulful, flavorful meals. Today, I carry that foundation into luxury private dining and catering, shaped by experiences like catering the AAMBC Awards Show and providing discreet, professional service at an elevated level.
