Indi Element

I craft nourishing, decadent food artistry designed to connect people.

I’m Indi, a private chef and baker with nine years of experience, currently based in NYC. My mission is to innovate, inspire, and offer nourishment as a channel for connection, using only the freshest organic and wholesome ingredients I can source.

I learned to cook in my mother’s kitchen, making classic American and Caribbean comfort foods, and later refined my skills through classical culinary training at Monroe College, specializing in international cuisine. I offer custom, goal-based meal planning and preparation, nutritional and culinary guidance, artisanal baking, menu and recipe writing, and event catering.

Let’s plan your menu

For me, cooking is a form of therapeutic ancestral communication.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with intention

Cooking is a form of therapeutic ancestral communication for me, so I approach every dish with care, meaning, and presence—building flavor in a way that feels grounding and restorative.

I blend roots with classical training

I learned to cook in my mother’s kitchen first, then deepened my craft through classical culinary training at Monroe College—so I can bring comfort, technique, and global inspiration to your table.

I stay curious with flavor

My secret in the kitchen is expanding my consciousness around how I pair ingredients, challenging assumptions, and creating new, refreshing, inspiring flavors that still feel balanced and nourishing.

I offer curated, plant-forward menus that can be customized for your gathering—featuring vibrant starters, satisfying courses, and decadent desserts made with wholesome ingredients and bold, inspired flavors.
