Hola! My name is Alejandra Schrader.
I am a passionate cook! From my kitchen, I like to ‘travel’ the world while preparing tasty, fresh, and nutritious meals from different cultures. I am fascinated by unique and authentic ingredients and enjoy creating bold flavors and eclectic recipes.
For the last year, I have been writing a cook book: “Cook Global. Eat at Home!”, where I encourage readers to bring the world to their kitchen; it’s about global cuisine with a light twist. During this journey and while I test recipes, I also share some of my recipes, tricks, and ideas through this blog.
I was a Top 10 finalist in FOX’s popular show “MasterChef” with Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliot, and Joe Bastianich. Check out my FOX Bio and Fan Page

Thanks for checking me out!
Keep smiling, get happy, and ADIOS!

Thank you so much, Lynn!! I am still learning and figuring things out but I appreciate the support.
I’d love to have you in my blog roll too. My very first! :)
I’m amazed at someone so young can give me (in 60′s & counting) so many good tips. Keep up the excellent work. My mouth waters just looking at your creations.
Love your passion for food! Quite impressive pictures, mouth-waterring to say the least!

Hey Alejandra!
You are my favorite contestant in Masterchef. I’d love to see you win the contest. It would be great if you can post more vegetarian recipes or give an option as to how a dish can be made with veggies. I love to cook too, but my skills are limited and I cook only veggie dishes..
