Hey, I’m Alex, the creator of Roots and Whisks. I advocate for life skills through play and I’m passionate about empowering kids (and parents!) in the kitchen. Having attended a Culinary School(specializing in Baking and Pastry) after graduating high school, I felt it was important to instill a love for cooking in my daughter from a very young age. I found my passion in teaching her the life skills she needs to build her confidence, grow our connection, and foster her curiosity all while cooking together.

 

I believe the kitchen is more than a place to cook—it’s a classroom, a playground, and a space for connecting and growing together. I have combined my love for cooking, teaching, and parenting to create simple, engaging recipes that I hope will help others to reduce the anxiety or stress that comes with cooking with kids. Follow along and let’s turn everyday moments with our kids into lifelong lessons!
