Introducing Chef Charlie, a culinary maestro blending Swedish and Black American heritage into her global gastronomic journey. From her roots foraging wild treasures in the forests of Gothenburg and fishing along Norway's riverbanks, to studying gastronomy near the Arctic Circle and refining her craft at Michelin-starred DILL in Reykjavík, Charlie's passion for wild foods and sustainable living is palpable. Her culinary odyssey took a meaningful turn when she helmed an anarchist kitchen in Iceland, providing nourishment and support to refugee families. Leading the charge at Värt: Sustainable Food Lab in Sweden, and collaborating with indigenous chef Angus Adams in Australia, Charlie honed her skills in merging sustainability with culinary innovation. After competing on Food Network's Battle of the Decades and 24 in 24, and grabbing the top 3 spot on Amazon Prime UK’s The World Cook, taking home the win in Roku’sBest Bite Wins then being featured on Ginger and Carrot and Women in Food, Charlie is now on a mission in southern California. Her mantra? If it grows together, it goes together. Join Chef Charlie Ray in her quest to spread sustainable and zero-waste culinary wisdom, one delectable dish at a time.
