Hello everyone!

I am Chef Courtney Brown, known as Chef Courtney - welcome to my website where my passion for cooking and baking is featured! You may know me from Season 1 of Gordon Ramsay's Next Level Chef — now streaming on Hulu — where I advanced to the semi-finals, or from the Netflix biopic Shirley. In 2022, I received a Proclamation from the Mayor and City Council of the City of South Fulton, Georgia, recognizing my culinary achievements and community impact.

More than 20 years ago, I began my culinary journey as a personal chef, helping individuals and families enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals through personalized meal preparation and private culinary coaching. What started as a passion for bringing people together through food has grown into a career dedicated to helping others perform, recover, and live healthier lives through exceptional nutrition.

Today, I’m a sought-after performance private chef, nutrition consultant, culinary coach, and artisan baker, trusted by professional athletes, executives, and families who understand the powerful connection between food and overall well-being. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients during contract extension years, short- and long-term injury rehabilitation, and both in-season and off-season performance nutrition.

My philosophy is simple: food should be as flavorful as it is functional.

Over the years, I’ve invested countless hours developing recipes that accommodate a wide range of dietary needs without sacrificing taste. Whether preparing meals for elite athletes or home cooks, every dish is thoughtfully designed to nourish the body while delivering an exceptional culinary experience.

My culinary style has been shaped by a love of learning and a passion for exploring cultures through food. By traveling, studying authentic cuisines, and experimenting with herbs and spices from around the world, I’ve developed distinctive flavor profiles inspired by Asian, Caribbean, American, Mexican, French, Mediterranean, Cajun, and other global traditions. I also created my own signature curry blends—including Indian, Jamaican, and Thai Red—and launched Courtney Cookies, a line of handcrafted artisan cookies enjoyed by customers across the United States.

I believe nutrition is one of the most powerful tools for improving performance, supporting recovery, enhancing mental focus, and promoting long-term health. Whether you’re a professional athlete preparing for competition or an individual striving to live a healthier lifestyle, food has the ability to transform how you feel and perform every day.

Throughout my career, I’ve been honored to work with NBA champions, MLB champions, Olympians, NFL players, and elite organizations committed to excellence. I’ve also served as the private chef for Adidas Basketball during exclusive NBA and WNBA events, delivering performance-focused culinary experiences for some of the game’s top athletes.
