Noella, the second of thirteen children, was raised by her grandmother Mama, an amazing cook and bakery owner. As a child, Noella often dreamed about having her own business, which she named after her late father, a fisherman and businessman called Leslie Charles.
Noella is the Head Chef and Creative Director of Ella Charles Cuisine, which opened in 2016. Her menu is a culinary adventure that leaves her clientele asking for seconds. She enjoys recipe formulating and likes to design programs and teach workshops to share cooking tips.
