Inspired by her Caribbean culture, Destine Gooden launched Parsley Fresh LLC in 2020 to bridge the vast flavors of her Jamaican and American heritage. 

 

Destine started off cooking at occasional gatherings as a way to bring all of her friends together. After resigning from her previous job, she decided to turn her passion for cooking into her main form of bread and butter. 

 

She says, “Cooking is therapeutic for me. It reminds me that I don't have to go far to enjoy the fruits of life. I can enjoy them right from the comfort of my own kitchen.”
