Hola!
I’m Alejandra Schrader

Food Personality, Cookbook Author, and Activist

I believe there is a strong connection between the food that we eat and the health of our planet. I promote sustainable diets as a way to help deliver better food systems.

Cooking and having important conversations about food allows me to empower others to eat more diverse ingredients, especially edible plants, and to help people figure out ways to minimize their food waste.

I connect my education and life experience with my commitment to Mama Earth and its inhabitants to embrace my passion for storytelling.

Most importantly, I make delicious food and honor each ingredient that is put on the plate. Creating colorful and nourishing food is my biggest passion.

The Low Carbon Cookbook

My Cookbook

The Low-Carbon Cookbook and Action Plan

A love letter to Mama Earth, written from my kitchen. My cookbook features 140 sustainable recipes to help every cook discover the magic of plant-based cuisine.

Many of the dishes in The Low-Carbon Cookbook are plant-based interpretations of the dishes I grew up eating (such as arepas or ceviche) and others are inspired by the ethnic and regional foods I’ve grown to love (such as poke or tagine).

My sustainable recipes offer local and seasonal swap outs to make them accessible to people despite their budget or geographical location. I also offer innovative and delicious ideas to minimize food waste and reap the benefits of what so often ends up discarded (peels, seeds, stalks, and more!).

      Services

      Come have a seat at my table.

      Cooking is my art and my craft.

      Food is my passion and my love language. It is the conduit that allows me to connect with myself, people, and our planet.

      I am a cook, writer, and designer. I am a storyteller.

      In the kitchen, my services include recipe development, menu design, content creation, brand collaborations, live demonstrations, private dinners, and popup restaurants.

      Outside of the kitchen, I offer my services to deliver keynote speeches, participate on expert panels, host events, and share my knowledge of sustainable food systems on camera or in front of an audience.
