## About

I am Chef Shanericka, the owner and executive chef behind Lavish Mint Catering.Born and raised in East Texas, Paris,Tx, I was taught to show love by FOOD and this is what created LavishMint. 
My journey into catering didn’t come easy. I faced obstacles, setbacks, moments of doubt, and seasons where I had to start over more than once. But every challenge sharpened my skills, deepened my creativity, and strengthened my desire to serve people through food. Cooking became my outlet, my safe place, and the one language where I could express my story without saying a word.
I create flavorful catering experiences, private chef meals, brunches, charcuterie offerings, and hands-on culinary events for clients who want more than ordinary food service. From thoughtful preparation to polished presentation, I handle the details so guests can relax, connect, and enjoy every bite. My goal is to make each celebration feel personal, elevated, and delicious.
