Alexandra Guarnaschelli Biography

Few American chefs, especially female cooks, can boast Michelin-starred establishments in other countries. Chef Alexandra Guarnaschelli can attest to this, having worked at some of France's most prestigious restaurants. Guarnaschelli is now regarded as one of America's most accomplished top chefs, with accolades for her work as a chef, an author, a social media personality, and a popular television personality. Guarnaschelli, the daughter of renowned cookbook editor Maria Guarnaschelli, acquired a worldwide education in food as a youngster, since she was nurtured on the cuisine of whatever book her mother was working on at the time. The younger Guarnaschelli, on the other hand, was not destined to be a bystander; her mother encouraged her to take part. Guarnaschelli swiftly advanced up the ranks in each place she found herself in, working at the legendary Guy Savoy and La Butte Chaillot in Paris, Daniel Boulud at Manhattan's renowned Daniel, and the celebrated Patina in Los Angeles. She went on to open her own restaurants, including Butter in New York, The Darby, a one-of-a-kind supper club, and the Driftwood Room in Miami. Guarnaschelli, a Food Network personality, is the presenter of Supermarket Stakeout and has previously hosted The Cooking Loft and Alex's Day Off. She's also been on numerous prime-time shows, including Chopped (for which each of the judges received a James Beard Foundation Award for Best Television Program), Beat Bobby Flay, and Iron Chef America, as a recurrent and guest judge (and its many spin-offs). Fix Me a Plate, her Food Network web series in which the New York native takes fans on an insider's tour of the city's top no-frills eateries, is presently in its third season. Guarnaschelli debuted a one-woman live comedy show, Busting My Chops, at Caroline's on Broadway, in addition to her television appearances. She's also a social media fixture, having been designated the Head of Twitter's Food Council, a group of prominent chefs that frequently join the Twitter debate on all things food and food culture. Guarnaschelli's most recent book, Cook with Me (Clarkson Potter, October 2020), examines how her interactions with her family have molded her as a chef and home cook. Guarnaschelli is a vibrant and enthusiastic speaker who also acts as an emcee and does cookery demonstrations to the pleasure of audiences. She shares insights learned from a childhood immersed in culinary education and adventure, as well as her personal travels and experiences as a mother and in world-renowned kitchens, in her remarks.
