About Chef Alexis Daniels
Alexis began catering at 13-years-old in the San Francisco Bay Area, and launched her own private catering company at 16.
Rather reluctantly, she closed her business and uprooted to chilly Boston to earn a BA in Anthropology, Community Health, and Fine Art from Tufts University.
Delighted to learn food does in fact grow here too, she stayed a while longer and earned her Master’s in Occupational Therapy.
After testing the waters in rehabilitation hospitals, clinics, and schools, she decided the kitchen best suits her creative, culinary mind!
These days, she is Director of the East Boston YMCA’s Teaching Kitchen, a founding member of Eastie Farm (the neighborhood’s first non-profit urban farm), and an avid world traveller.
Alexis is excited to extend her love of global cuisines to students at the Boston Public Market, through classes highlighting New England’s highest quality local food.
