Marissa Leon-John
Marissa is a completely self-taught chef. Born and raised in Montreal, Marissa’s kitchen reflects the multicultural food haven she hails from. Her Caribbean heritage is the foundation of her passion for honouring tradition, and you taste this in every bite of food she prepares.
A proud MasterChef Canada alumni, Marissa uses her voice and platform to provide more visibility for other young, black, LGBTQ+ members of the culinary community.
Marissa’s goal is to share the love and passion that she has for food with as many people as possible.
