The Stay At Home Chef has a combined following of more than 12 million fans across our social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tiktok, and more.

Her culinary creations have made their way onto the menus of restaurants and bakeries worldwide, and she’s also a twice-published cookbook author with 6 best seller designations. In addition, she has collaborated with some of the world’s top food and kitchenware brands like Meyer Corporation, Walmart, Disney, McCormick and Kraft.

Rachel is also known for her disability advocacy work after a video she made for YouTube’s Next Up went viral in 2016. The video resonated with so many people that nearly a decade later, she still receives daily emails from people who resonated with her message. It was, and still is, an international sensation covered by BBC, Daily Mail, Today, Huffington Post, Us Weekly, ABC News, Yahoo, and more.
At The Stay At Home Chef, Rachel shares her recipes, insights, and easy-to-follow video tutorials—all free of charge. Her goal is to inspire confidence in home cooks. With Rachel’s guidance, you can cook anything. Our community may be large, but there’s always room for one more at the table.
