Hi There!
I'm Alix. I'm a Cook (self-taught), Foodie (self-proclaimed), World Traveler, Recipe Creator, Video Producer, YouTuber, Podcaster, & Digital Creator…basically, I'm a lot of things.
You could even look at me like one big mess, but I love making a mess. Welcome to my kitchen/life!
You may recognize me from BuzzFeed Tasty, where I was the loud girl who produced recipe videos, dreamed of and cooked up many crazy creations, laughed a lot, and shared the ups and downs (and some more downs) of cooking with the world on Youtube. After hanging up my apron at Tasty (don’t worry, I still go back from time to time!) I have continued to share my journey in and out of the kitchen, (still, both the ups and the downs) with the world on YouTube, Instagram, my Podcast, and now here; my very own website! (so professional).
BTW yes, I am still loud & yes, I still laugh a lot.
I’ve always been obsessed with cooking and food but never dreamed I would make a career out of it! I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and moved to Los Angeles for college. In college, I studied Health & Human Sciences because it was the closest I could get to food LOL. I then started a food blog as a fun creative outlet. Food blogging brought me to Stockholm, Sweden, where I decided to move after graduating to start yet another blog, this time focusing on travel and food (RIP to both blogs). While I was living in Sweden, I began working part-time as a Food Stylist, it was my introduction to food as an actual career. I didn’t make much but I knew I loved it. Little did I know there was no going back because it led me straight to Tasty! I moved back to Los Angeles from Sweden immediately after I was hired and the rest is history. It may have been a winding road (to say the least) but I am so grateful to be right here!
Food has always been my ultimate passion in life, cooking is my therapy. There is nothing better than a warm piece of banana bread in the morning or a home-cooked meal at night (I mean, am I wrong??) Beyond its taste, though, I just love food’s unique ability to connect us all, it is what brought you here, after all!
Life is full of unknowns but there is one thing I am sure of and that is my love of connecting with all of you! Whether it be through sharing recipes and food or vlogging, speaking, writing, breaking out in spontaneous song. My many passions always bring me right back to you (is that creepy?)
I believe life is meant to be messy, in the most fun, silly, spontaneous, wild, vibrant, & yummy way. I hope you’ll join me for a meal (or two!) in my little virtual kitchen.
