Chef Alex Guarnaschelli’s No-Fluff Advice to Becoming a Great Chef

In this episode, Katie chats with her The Kitchen co-host and celebrated chef, Alex Guarnaschelli about her path to culinary stardom. Raised in NYC with a famous cookbook editor mom, Alex didn’t decide to be a chef until she took her mom’s advice to try working in a Manhattan restaurant for a couple of days. That experience turned into a lifelong passion, leading her to train in France for many years under legendary chef Guy Savoy. She shares how she made her Food Network dreams come true, what it’s like running Butter (her Manhattan hotspot for 23 years), cooking for celebrities like Prince, and opening her latest restaurant, Clara. Her best advice for aspiring chefs? Start at the bottom, work with grit, and always use yourself as your biggest inspiration.Follow Alex @guarnaschelli. Produced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
