Making Wild Game Gourmet

Alex Valdivia  was born in Cuba just west of the capital city of Havana.   He grew up watching fisherman bring in the daily catch and then would forage around his home for dinner.  After his family won visas to the US, he arrived in Florida at 15.  He quickly found that cooking would be his passion.  This led him to culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in Miami from 2006 to 2008 and the world of being a private chef.  He also has a passion working with animals as a renowned professional dog and dolphin trainer. With his culinary specialty of wild game, Mediterranean and Spanish style dishes, Alejandro looks forward to the journey ahead becoming the chef he’s always wanted to be, with his buddy and four-legged companion Mako by his side.
