Chef Scarlett Carbajal's Bio
Chef Scarlett Carbajal began developing her culinary skills at age 11 through internships in Los Angeles kitchens. At 19, she became a Sous Chef at Redbird, an upscale restaurant in a historic cathedral, where she helped create memorable dining experiences, from Emmy after-parties to intimate weddings. She also interned at Coombeshead Inn in Cornwall, England, a 66-acre farm and restaurant with a Green Michelin Star, where the team grew its own produce and raised its own animals. Scarlett later worked as a private chef for high-end clientele in Los Angeles and Dallas.
She enjoys cooking a variety of cuisines, especially vegetable-focused Mediterranean dishes. Her passion for cooking began at a young age, and winning Rachael Ray’s Kids Cook-Off at age 11 inspired her to pursue it professionally.
Outside the kitchen, Scarlett enjoys reading, long walks, hosting dinner parties, tasting new wines, playing video games, and thrifting or antiquing.
Fun Fact
A fun fact about her is that she grew up in Hollywood, where she was scouted at a mall while with her mom and went on to appear in several commercials as a child.
