Charlise Rookwood is a London-born, Jamaican and Mauritian vegan chef, creator of The Black Vegan Cooking Show, and author of VeganSoulicious — a cookbook that blends island tradition, soulful flavor, and revolutionary self-care.

Charlise's work is infused with deep cultural roots and a commitment to honoring her late father’s legacy.

Her debut cookbook VeganSoulicious is more than recipes—it’s a love letter to her roots and a call to nourish ourselves and our communities with intention.

Charlise’s story is one of culture, resilience, and purpose—infused with the flavors of her heritage and the wisdom of her ancestors. She’s reimagining plant-based living as both a return to ancestral traditions and a tool for modern healing.
