Like many chefs, Alessandra's love of food grew quickly when she started watching shows on the Food Network. She quickly found herself on the very same network. "When I was 11 years old, I found myself on the Rachael vs. Guy Kid Cookoff, which really launched my food media career… I came as the runner-up, but it really ignited in me a larger passion that kick-started that," Alessandra told us. Now, she makes videos for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts. Throughout the interview, HexClad stood as the number one brand in Alessandra's kitchen.
