Chef Kenneth Molyneaux was born and raised on the beautiful island of Tortola. As a young boy growing up in Long Bay, Ken (as he is affectionately called) developed an interest in the culinary arts. This interest blossomed as he worked alongside his mother in her kitchen and learned about the different herbs, seasonings, flavors, cooking techniques and indigenous foods found in these islands and throughout the Caribbean.
Kenneth went on to study Culinary Arts at the New England Culinary Institute where learned to develop his own unique style and flair and graduated with honors and at the top of his class. He also received the President's Award for the most outstanding performance in the Culinary Arts.
