Chef Alexandra created a memorable evening for us! She is personable, relaxed, organized, informative,and knows how to generate a good time. The meal we created was spectacular and we enjoyed participating and learning from her. An added bonus is the rooftop deck where we ate the fruits of our labor. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to... More

We had Chef Alexandra come to our condo to cook dinner for our family and it was wonderful. Chef Alexandra, herself, is delightful. She cooked an amazing meal (complete with something special for my 3 year old son). We will absolutely have her come again next time we visit! Highly recommend! More

We had a great experience with Alexandra and the finally with Avocado-Tequila-syrup ice cream and coffee and Cointreau was superb. Well worth the time and money and was a nice way to spend an evening in company of nice friends.... More

Alexandra was a joy to have in the kitchen. She was very perceptive to our wants and needs and consistently delivered delicious breakfast, dinner, drinks and dessert. Some of my personal favorites include her red snapper vera cruz, lamb chops, huitlachoche quesadillas and seared duck. She was extremely versatile and willing to customize our meals. Not only that, but she... More
