Alejandra Schrader Biography

Alejandra was born in Chicago IL to Venezuelan parents studying abroad and while still a toddler moved to Caracas Venezuela along with the whole family. There she grew up in a traditional middle-class home along with her two sisters and surrounded by a large extended family. Some of her earliest memories revolve around cooking with her mother and preparing meals that brought everyone together.
While still in college Alejandra decided to move back to the United States to continue her higher education as financial hardship and political tumult heavily affected her ability to remain in school. Learning a new language and adapting to a new culture is never easy. On her own and away from family she paid her way through school and received a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture at the Southern California Institute of Architecture as well as a Master’s degree in Urban Planning at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. Alejandra worked for several years in real estate and land development but a crashing economy and weak real estate market made it difficult for professionals in the field to stay employed.
She lost her job during the recession but tried to stay positive focusing on new and exciting opportunities. Rediscovering her love of cooking she expanded her horizons and continued to learn—experimenting with new ingredients developing unique recipes and immersing herself in the culinary world. Growing up in the melting pot of Venezuela and being exposed to multiple cultures since moving to the United States greatly influenced Alejandra’s interest in Globalization. She has examined this concept from many angles—from the drafting table to the kitchen counter. She shares some of her creations in her healthy recipe journal exploring and interpreting the concept of Global Cuisine and encouraging readers to “travel the world” from their kitchens using fresh natural ingredients. Her background in land development and focus on sustainability continues to impact her views on environmental-friendly farming practices and a desire to use wholesome organic products.
