Interview Questions with Chef Nina Kanan Morrison:
How was Kreations by Kanan founded? The name Kanan is my middle name. The business name Kreations by Kanan was suggested by Ms. Nicole Edison. Establishing the Business was headed by Ms. Joeretta Scott; she was the driver of the business idea. Mrs. Eli is the “Mother” of my vision; she supports the business vision from start to finish. Together, we are building a business that goes far beyond what we are imagining today!
Preparing meals is something that just comes natural for me. I love food and I love to cook. I was raised in Baton Rouge Louisiana , surrounded by women who were great cooks. I was the little girl who always stayed in the kitchen. Over the years I started to perfect every dish I prepared. After perfection, then I started to make each dish my own, with a twist; and that’s why the business slogan includes the word “Twist”.
What are your goals? Our goal is to be a unique, full-service upscale catering and event production company that specializes in custom event creation. My event team will handle every aspect of any party, including menu design, rental needs, location selection, valet services, lighting, and event design. We strive to maintain a progressive and perfectionist attitude that will set us apart from other companies and is what will give each event a signature style. We will be the best at what we do and we know it…..our goal is to prove it to you.
What are your specialty dishes? I would like to think that all of my dishes are special; but if I would have to choose it would be:
Garlic and Parmesan Dinner Rolls
Lemon Peppered Wings
Baked Lasagna
Chicken Enchiladas
Greens
Macaroni and Cheese
Salmon Stuffed with Crabmeat
