About AlexG

Filmmaker, Chef, Raconteur

Alex first learned to cook when he came to the USA from France and missed his mom's cooking. He was working as a journalist for French TV in New York City, and would call her every weekend to learn a favorite recipe.

In his late 20's, he was also a partner in the first certified organic poultry and game bird farm in the US. We provided pheasant, duck, geese, guinea hens and fancy chickens to Anthony Bourdain, Dean & Deluca and many other fine dining establishments in the city.

Alex eventually left the news business and moved with his family to Connecticut where he won three Emmy Awards working with Martha Stewart, and then won a James Beard Award working with Lidia Bastianich.

Alex's wife Amy owns YouTube Channel, CulturedandCured.

Chef AlexG's team of culinary artisans are located in Florida, where we enjoy hosting our cooking classes in St. Augustine for locals and visitors.

Amazing Experience! Far exceeded our expectations. We were greeted at the door and instantly made a connection after the first introduction. Amy and Alex created a warm and welcoming, and very clean environment. The experience was not just about cooking but about sharing our experiences with one another. While we told stories, Alex gave us step-by-step explanations and we learned by joining Alex and Amy in preparing the meal. There’s something magical about preparing a meal together with strangers, and within a few minutes we were sharing our own personal journeys. The food was super-fresh and healthy. Messaging in preparation for the dinner was prompt and informational, helping us decide on our menu. We chose the salad Nicoise. The ingredients were intentionally and conscientiously chosen for freshness. Even though we are from Louisiana and know how to cook, we learned a lot of new tips. Dinner was served on their quaint dining table where we continued sharing stories and making connections. Even the bottle of wine Alex served us had a unique story. I can’t wait to visit Florida again so we can partake in another experience with the AlexG team, and the neighbor who we also made a great connection with and laughed with. I highly highly recommend this experience.
