Mission Statement

My mission is to encourage young chefs ​to enjoy the creativity of cooking with ​hands-on classes. Educating and ​empowering young chefs to make ​nourishing and healthy food choices in a ​safe, fun, and diverse environment.

How it Started

During my time as Director of kids cooking camp at Devonshire ​Cultural Center, I provided personal hands-on experience by teaching ​children from ages 4 to 16 how to cook. I pushed open mindedness ​when trying new foods, and instilling perseverance when mistakes ​were made. All while showing them how to accurately follow a recipe.


I created a kid's friendly cookbook that was suitable for ages 4-16. ​With the assistance of my colleagues I oversaw 60+ kids ensuring ​kitchen and food safety, while encouraging kids to try new foods from ​ranging cultures.


Following my time as director I was hired to run a kids, teens, and adult ​cooking courses, along with running cooking themed birthday parties. ​One may feel that taking on the tasks of teaching cooking classes ​especally with children may be a challenge but, it made me realize that ​my passion for teaching cooking can become my career.


This inspired me to open up my own business known as Koala's ​Kitchen for children and adults.

My name is Tekieel Williams, I also go by ​Chef Teka. I have always loved cooking ​with my family often cooking our ​traditional Bahamaian dishes from an ​early age. I choose to share my love of ​cooking with others in hopes of inspiring ​young chefs to unlock their cooking ​potential.
