Sancia Padmore

I blend culinary experience with nutrition-focused cooking to make every meal both delicious and nourishing.

I’m a dynamic culinary professional with 10 years of experience in the culinary industry, supported by a strong and growing foundation in Nutrition and Dietetics. I’m currently pursuing a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, and I combine hands-on culinary expertise with evidence-based nutritional knowledge to create meals that are flavorful and supportive of overall health and well-being.

My work spans food service, nutrition-focused meal planning, community engagement, and health promotion. I’m passionate about culturally relevant and sustainable food solutions that address public health challenges like obesity, food insecurity, and non-communicable diseases—and I love translating nutritional guidance into practical, appealing, and enjoyable dining experiences.

Stories and testimonials

Exceptional Culinary Experience with Chef Sam Chef Sam delivered an absolutely outstanding culinary experience during our stay in Barbados. She prepared three exquisite dinners and two wonderful breakfasts for our group, and every meal was thoughtful, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We enjoyed elevated Bahamian cuisine, with Chef Sam graciously offering two entrée options at each dinner, which was greatly appreciated and made the experience feel both personalized and luxurious. She was highly attentive to dietary restrictions, ensuring that everyone in our group felt cared for and included. Beyond the food, Chef Sam enriched the experience by sharing insightful information about Bahamian culinary culture, adding depth and meaning to each meal. She also curated a stunning table setting and had every meal prepared promptly at our requested times, making the entire process seamless and relaxing. Chef Sam is professional, warm, and incredibly talented. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional private chef experience. We look forward to working with her again! -JDH

Chef Sancia was amazing! We had a group of 17 and she prepared several brunches as well as NYE dinner. Her food was fresh and delicious, And Chef Sancia was warm and engaging and made our trip to Barbados extra special. For NYE dinner she had a beautiful set-up to create an elegant ambiance. We recommend Chef Sancia for large groups, private occasions, or catering opportunities.
