Chloe Kay Coscarelli (born October 14, 1987) is a vegan chef and author.

Early life and education

[edit]

Chloe Kay Coscarelli is the daughter of filmmaker Don Coscarelli.[4] Chloe Coscarelli was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew up in the nearby city of Pacific Palisades. She is a graduate of UC Berkeley,[5] where she discovered her love for cooking.

Career

[edit]

A summer internship at Millennium, a gourmet vegan restaurant located in San Francisco, led to a course of study at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City.[6] Coscarelli was a contestant in Cupcake Wars, her vegan cupcakes garnering her first prize.[7][8] She became the first vegan to win a culinary competition on television and was named to the 2017 Class of 30 Under 30 by Forbes.[9]

From 2020-2022, Whole Foods partnered with Coscarelli to create prepared vegan holiday meals for Thanksgiving.[10]

In 2022, Club Med also partnered with Coscarelli to add vegan meals "at all eight of its all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean."[11]

In 2023, Tasting Table named Coscarelli as one of the "21 Plant-Based Chefs You Need To Know,"[12] and VegNews listed her as one of the "37 Creative Chefs Crafting the Future of Vegan Food."[13]

By Chloe

[edit]

In mid-2015, Coscarelli partnered with ESquared Hospitality to open the vegan fast casual restaurant By Chloe[14] (stylized by CHLOE) on Bleecker Street in the West Village of New York City.[15] By 2017 the chain comprised five locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan,[14] with additional locations in Los Angeles, Providence, and Boston.[16] In July 2017, Coscarelli was forced out by ESquared in an arbitration award after she filed suit in 2016 over control of the company.[17] In December 2020, By Chloe filed for bankruptcy.[18]

In 2021, it was acquired by "a consortium of investors that already had stakes in the company," and rebranded as "Beatnic."[19][20]

CHLOE

[edit]

In July 2024, Coscarelli announced the opening of a new vegan restaurant named CHLOE in Greenwich Village, New York City. The new establishment is located at the original By Chloe site on Bleecker Street. This follows a legal dispute with her former parent company, ESquared Hospitality LLC, which led to her departure from By Chloe in 2017.[21]

Works

[edit]

In 2012, she published her first cookbook, Chloe's Kitchen, followed by Chloe's Vegan Desserts in 2013, Chloe's Vegan Italian Kitchen in 2014, and Chloe Flavor in 2018.[22] Chloe's Vegan Desserts was named one of the 16 best vegan cookbooks for 2023 by Food & Wine,[23] and VegNews listed both Chloe's Kitchen and Chloe’s Vegan Desserts as "Top 100 Vegan Cookbooks of All Time" in 2024.[24][25]
