Chef Maika Frederic is a professionally trained chef, recipe developer, ​culinary educator, digital content creator, brand ambassador, and food ​product developer who established Growth Culinary LLC in 2020.

Growth Culinary LLC aims to create and discover tools that will ​enhance the cooking and dining experience to ignite joy and passion​ of global cuisine to food enthusiast home cooks through exploration,​ experimentation, and tasting.​

“I graduated high school in 2001 at 16 years old and, with no hesitation, went straight into culinary school in West Palm Beach. I actually applied to Johnson and Wales but didn’t realize I applied for the following year. When I didn’t hear from them, I went to Florida Culinary Institute, founded in 1987 (unfortunately, it no longer exists!) and got my two degrees.”

“Despite the mistake, I’m happy I went to FCI, a smaller school, which meant unforgettable connections. Got my first cooking gig at PGA National Resort. Then, through established relationships with the school, I ended up at the Ritz Carlton Hotel Company, the leaders of high-quality, personalized hospitality.”

“Life abruptly changed. Culinary was paused to take care of my son with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) as a single mom, got my master's, and became a Special Needs Educator. A couple of decades later, I’m back constructing my own culinary career in my vision through a mosaic lens, understanding the importance of meeting people where they are and building up from there.”
