Ayesha Disa Curry (née Alexander; born March 23, 1989) is a Canadian and American businesswoman, chef, restaurateur and actress. After guest roles in several television shows and films, she began hosting Ayesha's Homemade on Food Network in 2016. Despite not having any professional chef training, she began her culinary career in 2014, when she prepared her first meal as a YouTube demonstration.
At age 12, Curry acted as the love interest in the music video for "Too Young for Love" by Suga Prince (now known as Sevn Thomas).
After graduating from Weddington High School, Curry moved to Los Angeles to become an actress, appearing mostly in bit parts. She appeared in a short film Underground Street Flippers (2009), the TV movie Dan's Detour of Life (2008), and in the direct to DVD movie Love for Sale (2008).
After her marriage she started a food blog, and then a YouTube channel. This led to a short lived Food Network show Ayesha's Homemade, which follows her professional and personal life with cameos from her husband and two daughters. The first season ran for six episodes. A second season of six episodes, named Ayesha's Home Kitchen premiered on Food Network on April 30, 2017.
In 2016, she released her cookbook The Seasoned Life. In addition to her written recipes, Curry often posts instructional cooking videos on her YouTube channel.
On September 20, 2017, Curry was named as a spokesperson for CoverGirl, becoming the first spokesperson for the brand who is not an actress or singer. She was announced on September 21, 2017, as one of the new hosts of The Great American Baking Show, an American adaptation of The Great British Bake Off, on ABC. She also revealed to Deidre Behar, from Entertainment Tonight, that she was approached to join the next season of Dancing With The Stars. Only two episodes of the third season of Baking Show, however, aired on television due to sexual harassment allegations against one of the show's judges outside the series. While the show was renewed for a fourth season, Curry did not return as a host and was succeeded by former Spice Girls member Emma Bunton.
In July 2019, Curry and her husband launched the "Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation" in Oakland, California. The foundation works to end childhood hunger, increase access to quality education, and provide safe spaces for children to stay active. In 2024, she appeared in the Netflix movie Irish Wish.
