Chef Alex is a Peruvian Chef who’s been in the industry for over 12 years, both in Peru and throughout a number of restaurants and hotels in the United States. He was born in Celendin (Cajamarca), a little town in the mountains of Peru, but he grew up in Callao on the coast of Lima where he learned all about seafood and the importance and beauty of fresh fish. His love for Japanese food started as a fusion of cultures, or as the Peruvians call it Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese). He also had the opportunity to work with sushi in Miami a couple years ago, where he learned the importance of simplicity and respect for the traditional Japanese method. Chef Alex loves all food and is also well-versed in pasta, as he had a little home restaurant back in Peru serving up fresh pasta dishes with quality ingredients. He is so happy to be your Chef instructor and very excited to express and share his passion for the culinary world!

We had such a wonderful date night at the sushi-making class with Chef Alex and Christina! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and they made the entire experience engaging from start to finish. Chef Alex’s passion for sushi really came through in his teaching—he explained everything clearly, shared great tips, and kept us laughing the whole time. Christina was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed to create (and enjoy!) our sushi masterpieces. It was the perfect mix of learning, hands-on fun, and delicious food. Highly recommend for couples, friends, or anyone looking for a unique night out!

Great date night/date day idea! We booked the Sushi Making class and had a great time! Interactive class! Chef Alexander and Christina were wonderful, took their time explaining the sushi making process as well as the culture and history behind sushi and its ingredients. Drinks were also available for purchase and the margaritas we had were the perfect touch with our sushi! Book the class! You will enjoy!

Chef Alex was awesome! His presentation was not only personable but extremely informative as well. I can't wait to try out all the techniques I learned on my own.

Amazing! It was our first time doing a class like this and we had a blast. Chef Alex killed it. He is a great teacher and went from SUPER basic where he explained the meaning of what we were using (which I think is essential) to making the rolls and talking condiments. His wife Christina was also super helpful and fun and Amber our bartender ruled. The literal only thing I would change is the parking situation! We would have stayed so much longer but the 3 hour parking meant we had to move and by the time the class was up - the rest of the street was packed. Can’t wait to take another class with Chef soon!
