I’m Carole Mac.
Hospitality Specialist. Producer. Journalist. Sommelier. Author & Speaker.
Thanks for coming to my website! My life’s mission is to share joy, inspiration, and empowerment through food and wine.
I spend my days as a hospitality specialist with a mission to help restaurants save time and money through technology. The rest of the time, I’m a serial entrepreneur with my hands in many creative projects.
After losing my son TJ, I went on a journey to heal myself through food. It worked! So I went on a mission to help others, and made a documentary series about it called FOOD BLISS. I’m also Executive Producer of the series UNSTOPPABLE featuring NCAA Women’s Gymnastics.
I’ve produced and hosted over 10 series and 250 episodes featuring the world’s top chefs and sommeliers (HERE). My series Somm School Insider appears on ROKU globally and “makes a splash in the wine world” according to USA TODAY.
I’ve also been the Editorial Director of the James Beard award-winning The Rosengarten Report and columnist for many publications including Food Republic and Edible Communities. My food film Oh My Rødgrød! was selected to appear in the New York City, Chicago, and Nova Scotia Food Film Festivals.
I’m most proud of my bestselling children’s book The Gift of the Ladybug, a bibliotherapy book used by doctors and therapists to help families accept difficult diagnoses. I’ve raised $150,000 for kids with critical illnesses and created the National “Gift of the Ladybug” Day on January 28 (TJ’s birthday). Purchase books to benefit kids HERE.
I’ve delivered Keynote speeches on resilience, empowerment, and joy to Nationwide Insurance, Michigan State University, Ohio University, and Nationwide Children’s Hospital. You can find me on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSN, YAHOO, USA TODAY, WOMAN’S DAY, and GLAMOUR.
I hope to meet you through the screen, on a stage or page, or in real life! In the meantime, come say “hi” on Instagram @carole.mac.
