How We Got Started

At Elva Imports, our journey began with a simple goal: to connect people to honest, hand-crafted goods that tell a story. From small-batch distillers to heritage nut roasters and boutique vineyards, we work directly with makers who care deeply about their craft. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a thriving network of trusted producers, built on shared values of transparency, quality, and sustainability.

Calling the Cayman Islands home for over 20 years, Chef Mo is deeply ingrained in the Cayman food culture & has been a part of the international culinary scene for most of her life.

A passionate food advocate & culinary entrepreneur, things started to heat up in the kitchen for Chef Mo when she earned first place at Food & Wine Magazine’s 2013 Cayman Cookout Cook-Off competition cooking for judges Eric Ripert, Anthony Bourdain, & José Andrés.  Later that year she was a speaker at TEDx Seven Mile Beach where she introduced her concept of sparking a “Cayman Style Food Revolution”.

Since then, Chef Mo has immersed herself in Cayman’s bountiful culinary world. She is the Director at Bestlife Culinary and a Volunteer Ambassador for the Jamie Oliver Food Revolution.  Under this program, she founded Seed2Plate designed for government-run schools which teaches children about where their food comes from and basic cooking skills.
