The Ultimate Sweet Limer: Chef Renata Dos Santos
originally hails from the
twin islands of Trinidad
and Tobago. She has also
lived in Canada, England
and Holland, while working
in some form or another
in either the culinary or hospitality field. As a result, she has brought an international perspective and global experience to the Low Country.
Renata is a Culinary Institute of Charleston graduate. She has won several culinary awards, including the 2009 Laura Hewitt Culinary Legend Award and the SC Governor’s Conference Tourism Student Award. Her cakes have been featured in “Offbeat Bride” and “Weddings Unveiled” magazines. Her recent endeavors have been mentioned in "Rachael Ray Magazine", "Charleston Magazine", "Discover Charleston" and "Skirt"...to name a few. She is a member of Women, Chefs and Restaurateurs, American Culinary Federation and Slow Food USA: Charleston Convivia.
As a personal chef and artisan baker, Renata focuses on the individual needs of her clients by personalizing nutrition plans using the Farm to Table philosophy. Her Johns Island location has given her clients the opportunity to experience fresh, organic, local produce at affordable prices.
As a culinary and hospitality consultant, Renata has assisted several Low Country organizations, such as Deewees Island Association, MUSC’s Medical Research Committee, The Dragon Boat Association of Charleston, Courageous Kidz, Body Architects and Sun Dog Cat Moon.
During her spare time, Renata works as a licensed veterinary technician and manager for Sun Dog Cat Moon, Johns Island, incorporating her culinary talents as a food therapist and gourmet pet food chef with a focus on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine.
After seeing the success of "non-traditional restaurants" located in homes in China, Chef Dos Santos spent the next three years envisioning and creating the groundwork for her latest endeavor. Wanting to create a top class dining experience within a family kitchen table environment, she launched Charleston's newest underground adventure...LIME.
