About Chef Nikki

“A TALENT is TAUGHT, but a GIFT is GIVEN”…. words said to her by the late Tiva Lois Williams, the Grandmother of Owner & Executive Chef of Nikki’s Simple Kitchen, Memphis, TN, Mrs. Stephanie N. Lurry.

Born in the country of West Helena, AR around cooking giants like her Mother, Father, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, & Aunties, Stephanie was born with the GIFT to cook! It’s one thing to be interested in what you do for a living, & something totally differently when you have a passion for it!


Established in 2014, “Chef Steph” started making countless food orders & special requests, yet, hosting holidays & various events for family & friends. For over 20 years, coming out of full-service into her own realm of cooking, she has been making creative & delicious dishes in the Memphis & Shelby County area. She began to constantly travel for some time abroad the Tri-State area & the U.S., looking to enjoy diverse cuisines, & study new culinary methods. This helped develop her into the Chef she is today! Upon being professionally trained in the restaurant industry, her goal is always to serve, (with her special recipe of LOVE), with excellent service, start everything with prayer, supplication, & commitment. With these morals, values, & scruples in place, in 2020, she launched her catering division, which has now successfully catapulted into a business of demand. As of now, having served more than 70 events, the list of clientele is constantly growing! She has been interviewed on various radio shows & podcasts & was featured on WMCTV’s Bluff City Life in April 2023. When it’s all said & done, her all 5.0 reviews speaks volumes for itself.


She is married to Co-Owner & Sous Chef, Clifton Lurry.
