Chef Christina Alexis
Private Chef In Oakland
Get to know me better
Chef Christina Wilson is a self-professed, food-obsessed epicurean who's willing to try almost anything when it comes to food and drink.
Delicious food and intriguing drinks have always been my passion. This passion coalesced into a career with the launch of my supper club and dining events concept, The Pleasure Principle, which began as a weekend series of dinners that I held while I was living abroad in Barcelona. My four years in Barcelona gave me the time and opportunity to travel Europe and deepen my passion and enthusiasm for food and drink.
I've returned home to the states having discovered my culinary point of view. I recently moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and launched The Pleasure Principle as a catering and private chef-driven enterprise, which today celebrates the dynamic and delicious cuisines of North & West Africa, The Caribbean and The American South.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
My passion project for life. This is how I pay homage to my grandmothers, my ancestors, my bloodlines. It's also how I honor my pure love for food.
I learned to cook at...
Apprenticed with a classically trained chef in Chicago for 2 years. Other than that, am self-taught through genuine interest-driven practice.
A cooking secret...
Trust your instincts- don't be afraid to experiment and take risks. Oh and never forget the BUTTER!
