Meet the Chef Behind Harlem Homemade
Fifteen years in the kitchen, cooking the meals that feel like home.
Hello There!
I’m Chefleen — a Chopped Champion, Food Network alum (four times over!), mama, and the founder of Harlem Homemade. After working in dozens of homes and feeding hundreds of families over the years, I realized something important: the dinner table isn’t just about food — it’s about connection.
I started this business because I didn’t want to miss dinner with my own family. As a working mom, I know how overwhelming evenings can get. That’s why I set out to make high-quality, feel-good meals more accessible for busy households — especially here in Harlem, the neighborhood I call home.
