Rachel Ama

Chef, Author & Creator

Rachel Ama is a chef, author and creator known for her vibrant approach to plant-based cooking, bringing together Caribbean influences, bold flavours and the food cultures that have shaped her.

Caribbean Flavours, Reimagined

Rachel Ama has built a distinctive approach to plant-based cooking, bringing together the Caribbean and African influences she grew up with and her love of bold, vibrant flavour.

Drawing inspiration from her St Lucian and Sierra Leonean roots, Rachel reimagines familiar dishes and ingredients through a plant-based lens — creating food that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Her recipes have taken her from sharing food online to publishing cookbooks including Rachel Ama’s Vegan Eats and One Pot: Three Ways, while building a community around flavourful, accessible plant-based cooking.

It’s this connection between heritage, creativity and a new way of looking at familiar flavours that makes Rachel a natural part of The Caribbean Creators.
