A television host of  ‘Greek Recipes by Alexa’ she embraces  ancient Mediterraniun culinary traditions  who’s origins and precise techniques  predate  the conical stone oven. *

Alexa presents her dishes with uncommon sophistication belying the utter simplicity of some  of  the preparations.  With equal aplomb she knows her way around  a  thorny artichoke, the morning catch and a complex almond cake paired with cherry compote.

She taught courses in the Theory of Advanced Cooking and Molecular Gastronomy with Chef Jordi Valles (formally of El Bulli) and at the prestigious IEK DOMI Culinary School in Athens.  As a restauranteur she owned or co-owned  three of Greece’s most critically acclaimed restaurants.  One does not have to travel across the Atlantic to read of Alexa’s deft epicurean abilities.
