Hi, I’m Alex Smith owner of todomeal, a 35-year-old chef born and raised in the heart of New York City. My love for cooking began in my grandmother’s cozy Brooklyn kitchen, where the scent of sautéed garlic and onions first awakened my passion for food. While I explored different career paths over the years, my true calling eventually led me to the Institute of Culinary Education, where I formally trained as a chef.
Today, I proudly operate a seasonal bistro in Queens, where each dish reflects not just flavor but a story. My cooking is driven by passion, boldness, and imagination. My approach is bold, rooted in real-life experiences, and fueled by a desire to mentor others especially those starting new culinary journeys later in life.
To me, cooking isn’t about perfection it’s about joy, risk, and the memories we create along the way. A broken sauce or a cracked crust? like That’s just the flavor of growth. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to begin your culinary path, I promise you it’s not. The kitchen is always open, and the most meaningful meals are still ahead.
The Story Behind TODOMEALS
From a young age, the kitchen was my favorite place to be a space where I could experiment with spices, flavors, and ingredients. I didn’t cook out of necessity; I cooked because I genuinely loved it. Whether it was preparing a simple weeknight dinner or hosting a weekend brunch, food has always meant more to me than just nourishment.It’s how I express myself, share care, and connect with others around the table. That passion is the heartbeat of TODOMEALS.
