Chef Peurie

Introducing

Spend time with Chef Peurie rattling some pots.

Hello Everyone

I am Chef Octavia Peurie. My passion for food was developed by my mother, she cooked every day, and I was right beside her in the kitchen, learning all types of cooking techniques that I could not name at the time.

My journey in the kitchen with my mom started when I was seven. In my teenage years, I became known for my cooking by our friends and family just like my mother. The fulfillment of satisfying others with food became a lifestyle, and in 2013 it became a profession when I graduated from Johnson and Wales University with my Bachelor's in Culinary Arts and Food Service Management.

I have spent over ten years managing kitchens in NC, SC, and GA. I have developed a unique personal brand and sought-after leadership style that led me to earn my Master’s in Leadership from Capella University. While I continue to lead in Foodservice, my husband and I started our own company, Peurie Culinary Entertainment Services, known to you all as P.C.E.S. We like to say we bring all the P.C.E.S together for YOU!

As a young child, I saw firsthand the impact food and hospitality has on all people, our goal is to bring that enjoyment right into your homes, to inspire you to embrace life, family, and community.
