Our Story
Nutmeg Creole Kitchen is Fred Alexander’s Grenadian-rooted kitchen in Ajax, serving Creole and Caribbean food for takeout, delivery, and catering across the Greater Toronto Area.
We believe great food has the power to bring people together. Inspired by the rich culinary traditions of the Caribbean, we have created a kitchen where bold, vibrant flavors make every dish come alive.
Every dish is thoughtfully prepared using fresh ingredients and authentic recipes that honor the vibrant spirit of Creole cuisine while offering a healthy, delicious meal to today's guest.
Meet Fred Alexander
Fred Alexander is from St. Andrews, Grenada, and his first culinary influence was his grandmother. He began his career as a chef in Grenada in 1992, moved to Canada in 2001, and worked at the Four Seasons in Toronto. In 2016 he started cooking for his local community, and in 2024 he opened Nutmeg Creole Kitchen in the Durham Region of the Greater Toronto Area.
The name comes from home. Grenada is the Spice Isle, and nutmeg is its number one spice. Fred's cooking carries the island's Creole influence, and the herbs, spices, and seasonings that bring out the flavor in every dish.
How we cook
Our cooking starts from the Spice Isle of Grenada and encompasses Creole traditions, Caribbean influences and re-imagining dishes from far away. What sets our food apart is the combination of seasonings, herbs and spices we use to create vibrant flavors that make every dish come alive.
Oildown is the national dish of Grenada. Ours is simmered in coconut milk with breadfruit, dumplings, callaloo, and various meats. You should try it.
Order for takeout or delivery, or book us to cater your next event anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area.
Where We Got Our Name
Grenada is known as the Spice Isle, and nutmeg is its number one spice. That is why the kitchen carries its name, and why nutmeg also appears on Grenada's flag.
