Food is my love language and my heritage — Chef Felisha Bowe

From the Bahamas
to Columbus

Island Girl Bahamian Cuisine was born from one woman's passion, resilience, and unshakeable love for her culture. After relocating to Columbus, Ohio, Chef Felisha Bowe — a single mother and lifelong cook — discovered a city hungry for authentic Caribbean flavors.

Armed with recipes passed down from her mother in the Bahamas, and a heart full of determination, she turned her kitchen into a cultural bridge — and never looked back.

Our Story

Rooted in tradition. Fueled by passion.

Chef Felisha Bowe — Founder, Island Girl Bahamian Cuisine

A Woman, a Dream,
and a Pan of Peas & Rice

Every dish we prepare carries a story — one that starts on a small island in the Bahamas, in a warm kitchen where a young girl stood beside her mother, watching, learning, and falling deeply in love with the art of feeding people.

"When I cook, I'm not just making food. I'm sharing my homeland, my mother's hands, my children's future."

My passion for food began as a little girl, watching my mother move with grace and love in our kitchen back in the Bahamas. After relocating to Columbus, I realized how much I missed the food of home. That's when I decided to create it myself — and share it with others.

Starting this business wasn't just about food. It was about survival, purpose, and creating a better life for my children. Cooking came naturally to me, and when people tasted my food and it brought them joy — that gave me the motivation to keep going.

Today, Island Girl is more than a catering company. It's a cultural ambassador. Island Girl Bahamian Cuisine is my love letter to the Bahamas, to my mother, and to everyone who's ever tasted my food and felt like they were home.
