About the Chef

Growing up in a family who loves food,  Monique Smith has been inspired to recreate dishes in her own ways such as supporting healthier lifestyles, incorporating different flavors from around the world, and keeping a legacy of tradition going.  Coming from a 2-parent home in New Jersey with 2 sisters' food always brought us together no matter what life came with. Extremely grateful for family, friends,  trials and tribulations until this day. LOVE above all will always come through her cooking making it an unforgettable TrulyYours experience for all types of people and times around the world. 

TrulyyoursLLC, truly started from humble beginnings in a small kitchen with limited space serving corporate America, to the kitchen of others for personal chef services, to serving out of commercial kitchen spaces to lovely students and teachers at a Charter school and her local home church. God has always been the center of this movement and God will remain at the center for the love of people to shine through all services provided. 

When not cooking, prepping, eating or critiquing food you'll find her being a proud Boy mom loving on her 2 boys, traveling the world, servicing her lovely Mother & others , and most of all striving to make her late Father proud!
