Welcome!

I’m Alessandra Ciuffo, a 24-year-old chef, creator, and food educator from NYC. From a young age, I have loved to cook and be on camera, which led me to be on some pretty cool shows ~ shoutout *winning* Guy’s Grocery Games at 15. After earning a Business Administration degree, I chose to pursue my passion full-time, enrolling at the Institute of Culinary Education.

Now, I run my own food media brand @flavorsbyalessandra and love sharing high-quality recipes, culinary techniques, and glimpses into my life alongside my crazy Italian-American family!⁣
