Chef Ayla Walter

Ayla is a classically trained chef. She started off her career learning about lowcountry cuisine in restaurants & cafes in Charleston, SC.

She received her bachelors in Culinary Arts & Food Service Management at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI. She then went on to cook for the elite socialites & celebrities in Boston, MA. She opened, cooked & managed various café & restaurant kitchens.

Looking for something new, she took her talents to the Vineyard to work farm to table dining on Martha’s Vineyard.

As a side hustle, Ayla began teaching cooking classes where it ultimately became a true passion as she opened cooking schools & taught people of all walks of life how to cook.
