Chef Carrie Walters

Chef Carrie Walters - Culinary Center Instructor

As the corporate chef and culinary director for Dorothy Lane Market, Chef Carrie is always cooking up something wonderful. Not only will you taste her menus brought to life at top-tier DLM events, like the Food & Wine Show and Pastry Show, but you'll find her influence when you visit the DLM Culinary Center where she also helps shape the class programming. Don't be surprised to see her listed as an instructor on the class schedule as well, as her passion for food is contagious and she's always eager to share it with others. Carrie's influence can be found in the recipe development of many of the DLM-made foods that you'll find around the store. As a prolific traveler, she's always soaking in food trends and styling tips from around the world, and is excited to bring them to life at DLM and share them in any number of multimedia ways, whether it be in our printed Table or in instructional videos.
