My Story

 For years family and friends have said that Carline Bengtsson should open a restaurant or write a cookbook. Both suggestions were the furthest thoughts in her mind, but something clicked in her 2013 and she decided to pursue a cookbook. She asked family and friends what they would have to say about her cooking - this was how the journey began towards publishing her first cookbook – “Carline’s Fork & Cork Simply Delish!”. Bengtsson’s artistic ability would lead her to making the dinner table into her own canvas and food as her choice of expression. Effortless creativity in presenting fresh, organic ingredient based meals, paired with flavorful wines that encourages captivating conversations, is what Carline provides guests - bringing together a fusion of culturally rich ingredients from Jamaica, Scandinavia and Asia for those who are looking for a unique culinary experience. Carline excels at turning ingredients into works of art both pleasing to the eye and equally tasteful to the palate. She is described as a chef of enticing, inventive and delicious eats. Making all things ‘Simply Delish’ is the goal of Carline’s mosaic culinary inspirations. 

In 2019 Carline Bengtsson left her corporate role with Medtronic to further pursue her two passions of helping others and creating memorable meals. She established “Dine4Dinners®” to combat hunger in partnership with organizations that provide meals for those in need of daily nourishment through dependable, reliable and sustainable sources.
