Chef Regina is known for acclaimed restaurants, celebrated cookbooks, and widespread recognition in the culinary world. Regina grew up in Natchez on the Mississippi River.

She turned challenges into opportunities, building a career defined by creativity, determination, and Southern charm. Regina’s journey spans Natchez, the Alaska wilderness, Paris, San Francisco, Minneapolis, New York, and back to Natchez. Often hailed as the “Queen of Biscuits,” she transformed her hometown of Natchez into the “Biscuit Capital of the World.” Chef Regina is so much more than biscuits, though.

She is also known for her influence on the cuisine of the American Queen riverboats, which inspired her book “Mississippi Current”. No matter where she’s traveled and cooked, her food and hospitality has always had a touch of that Southern accent. At this course of her life, she now shares her passion for food and entertaining by hosting guests at her cooking school, Regina’s Kitchen in Natchez. She considers this the dessert course of her life. Regina’s impact on the culinary world is undeniable. She has been featured in prominent food publications, including The New York Times, Better Homes and Gardens, and Southern Living. Regina has appeared on NBC and ABC affiliates, The Today , and the Hallmark Channel, and has been cased on Andrew Zimmerman’s Bizarre Foods.
