About The Platinum Chef

Meet Chef Rhoda St. Luce

Clinical nutritionist and personal chef, offering personalized nutritional coaching and plant-based, island-inspired cooking across metro Detroit.

Her story

From a kitchen in St. Croix

Rhoda was born and raised in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Her love of cooking started at home, watching her mother in the kitchen, and above all watching her bake her famous island fruit cake each holiday.

That lifelong passion for creating great food grew into a career. Rhoda trained in clinical nutrition and now works as a personal chef and nutrition coach. She cooks for families and individuals, teaches classes and helps people change the way they eat for good.

“Revolutionizing the way we think about healthy and vegan based food.”

Unique, healthy, evolving

A personal, holistic approach

Culinary experience, a passion for good food and clinical nutrition training come together, so every plan, meal and class is shaped around the person in front of her.

01

Delicious

Healthy food should be food you look forward to. Rhoda’s island-inspired recipes bring colour, spice and comfort to plant-based eating.

02

Creative

Every menu and plan is custom. Rhoda cooks for the way you live, from a quiet dinner at home to a large event.

03

Healthy

Clinical nutrition training means your meals are built on an understanding of your nutritional needs, not on trends.
