Bio

Keshia Hay is the chef & owner of BōTANIQUE

(formerly sip n bite).

A native to Nashville, she studied fashion design and merchandising. Her experience in the food and beverage industry spans over 20+years.

Establishing sip n bite in 2012, she spent the following years cultivating beautiful sensory driven experiences for clients and collaborators alike. Keshia’s life evolved and expanded in new ways. Becoming a mom and craving more from her creativity and business, the story lovingly transformed into BōTANIQUE.

BōTANIQUE is a culinary lifestyle brand focused on celebrating the art of intimate gatherings and magical musings for the home, through a botanical lens.

Three is the magic number formulating a triptych with SOIRÉE, CULINAIRE & RITUEL. Each designed to encompass the many facets of florals and the way we use them in the culinary space or home.

Chef Keshia’s culinary talents have been featured in various publications and podcasts including Cherry Bombe, BRIDE, and Nashville Voyager. 

She looks to continue sharing more of her cuisine local and globally one bite at a time. 

The Process

I come to YOU..... 

Your experience will be one step above that in a restaurant. Your menu will be customized specific to your gathering. Sourcing for the best in season and highest of quality ingredients, I’ll take special care in preparations, and give you impeccable service throughout. With the beauty of an open-mind, I enjoy designing bites and or dishes reflective of different cuisines.

For a visual reference or help deciding what direction to go, past menus are available upon request.

*Price is determined on your customized menu.

Inspiration

Art, travel, seasonality, and elements of the natural world are my cornerstones for designing menus. Inspiration also comes from YOU. Your home, your occasion, and your taste.
