From Kitchen Dreams to Global Plates: Chef Joanne Thomas’ Culinary Journey
💫 Meet Chef Joanne Thomas – Founder of Serenity Soul Corporation

Chef Joanne Thomas, the visionary behind Serenity Soul Corporation, is an international travel chef whose culinary journey started at the tender age of six. Growing up on the West Side of Chicago, she discovered early on that food was more than just nourishment—it was love, celebration, and connection. Her passion led her from cooking in her barracks during her time in the Marine Corps to building a thriving catering business that offers not only gourmet experiences but soul-filled, unforgettable moments for her clients.

Chef Joanne’s story is one of resilience, faith, and relentless dedication. She pivoted her business during the pandemic, introducing virtual cooking classes and launching a retail line featuring her best-selling signature spice blend, gourmet butters, and more. With features on WGN Chicago and appearances at Essence Festival, her brand has touched hearts across the globe—from New Orleans to Bali.

For Chef Joanne, hospitality is about more than serving food; it’s about creating meaningful experiences that make people feel loved and seen. Whether through private dining, international travel chef services, or her culinary instruction, every dish she creates is crafted with intention and heart. Her advice to aspiring chefs? Find your niche, stay persistent, and lead with passion.
