Kiesha Colbert
I'm Chef Kiesha Colbert born in New York , I have always been passionate about good food. My previous career of nearly twenty years as a social worker in the field of foster care and adoption also made me passionate about taking care of people.
While I am not a classically-trained, professional chef, I have been blessed with the tremendous gift of being able to combine my two life-long passions to do something I love: take care of people with good food.
My approach to food is bold and adventurous. I combine great ingredients and great cuisines from my three favorite areas grandma's kitchen the backyard BBQ pit and the taste of the Caribbean with a punch of bold flavors and a down home feel. The result is healthful, gourmet cuisine with a bit of a kick and a memory of granny's kitchen family events and oh that great Caribbean vacation.

I decided to bring our love of New Orleans flavors to the modern mobile dining mecca of Philadelphia. We wanted to combine the authentic tastes of my family’s home with the new forward-thinking food movements of Northeastern Pennsylvania to present a non-traditional, Authentic Creole dining experience. When I first started “ Rollin In The Springs, LLC AMONGST OTHER THINGS “ I wanted to accommodate our fast growing economy by bringing a full meal experience in one bite with our specialty spring rolls. This lead to our vast choice of fillings and sharing my family’s Creole Cuisine with the the surrounding tri-state area.. Our dual menu is designed to entice our working environment for on the go and/or for our customers who want to dive into The New Orleans, Louisiana experience.

Lindsay Hills
Hello, Chef Lindsay here. I have always been fascinated by food since I was a child. In fact, I stole it right out of people's hands so I could try it. So, let us just say my love of food began at a young age. The passion grew stronger and stronger over time. I was born in Virginia and raised in New Jersey for the first 18 years of my life, and I now live in Coatesville, Chester County, PA.
I graduated from Coatesville Senior High School, as well as The Technical College High School Brandywine Campus for Culinary Arts. I am a proud graduate of Hyde Park, New York's Culinary Institute of America. During my time at the CIA, I spent four months on externship at the Addison Reserve Country Club in Delray Beach, Florida, where I had the opportunity to gain experience in the field of culinary arts while working alongside some incredible chefs.
I worked at Restaurant Alba in Malvern, PA, and had the pleasure of cooking for Martha Stewart. In addition, I was able to cook on a Philadelphia cooking show with my high school chef instructor, Chef Jarrett Young, owner of Create-a-Cook, who is still my mentor. In addition, I work for Create-a-Cook, teaching kids how to cook at a summer camp program alongside Chef Young.
I currently work as a Personal Chef and own Lindsay's Lunch Box in Chester County, Pennsylvania. My goal is to relieve people's stress by providing better, healthier eating options; food that is so fresh that it makes you feel spoiled. Individual and family-style lunches and dinners are available. But it does not stop there. I also cater parties and teach children's cooking classes. I enjoy what I do and my job, and I am grateful for the support I receive from my family. This is only the beginning for me!
