Welcome to Alexandra’s Kitchen
Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here. Below you will find a series of videos that I hope may offer some guidance in regard to chopping some of the items we reach for most often while cooking: onions, citrus, herbs, etc.
Throughout the videos, too, I share some of the tools I reach for most often. I’ve linked to them below the videos as well.
Happy chopping!
