Our Team

For three years, Atlas Weekly has been helping home cooks travel the world from the comfort of their kitchens. Although we're now called Atlas Weekly, we started as ‘Atlas Masterclass’ and had a mission to keep Australians' spirits high and tummies full, during the lengthy lockdowns of 2020-21. With our 1 Hat restaurant Atlas Dining in South Yarra closed, and Australians not able to travel the world, and try new cuisines, Atlas Masterclass began. Quickly, becoming a household experience Australians grew grateful for. 

Today, households are back, busier than ever, but Atlas Weekly continues. We like to think of ourselves as Australia's meal kit brand created for our people, and by the people. Not only does our small, talented team bring together decades of restaurant experience. But our Atlas Traveller home cook community, continue to shape how Atlas Weekly grows, what we offer, and how we can continue to solve dinner time madness. 

Charlie Carrington

Chef Charlie Carrington is the owner of Atlas Weekly and 1 Hat restaurant Atlas Dining in South Yarra. The poster boy of Atlas Weekly (you're probably sick of seeing his face!) Charlie is what some would consider a 'foodpreneur'. At age 16, Charlie left school in Melbourne, to work in the world's best kitchens including three Michelin-starred restaurant, Gordan Ramsay, and Sydney's Firedoor. At 22, Charlie opened the globe-trotting concept restaurant Atlas Dining, and just three months in became Australia's youngest chef to be awarded 1 Chefs Hat by the Age Good Food Guide. In 2020, Charlie began Atlas Weekly which only added to the fire in his belly.

Tarah Miller

How does the saying go? Behind every great man is a great woman? Meet Tarah. Tarah is the mastermind behind the Atlas Weekly's former concept, 'Atlas Masterclass' and was often the hands behind the lens of every home kitchen cooking class. With a background in creative communications, Tarah helps us to tell our Atlas Weekly story right. When she isn't getting Charlie in front of the camera, Tarah's helping out with a little bit with everything. But she's the lesser foodie of us all. Don't ask her to proof a recipe card or explain how to cook an egg!
