Well, my name is Alex and I am an amateur chef with a very laid back attitude hence: The Relaxed Chef.
I work in a field that can be very stressful, but I have come to the thinking that its just easier to enjoy the ride and not stress about life too much even in the kitchen. Everything works out. Especially in the way God and JC intended for it to. So, I have found that cooking added to my relaxation and appreciation for all the natural gifts we receive everyday and I want to share this appreciation of food and its calming effect it has had on me with you.
I started having an real interest in cooking about 7 years ago .However, I have been cooking and learning from each of my family members since I could walk. I watched cooking shows, movies, read tons of cooking books and was just amazed at the care and appreciation some of the chefs took in the preparation. I have also seen a lack of it at times and how "fast food" even that not served in the traditional sense can take away from this care.
This blog will consist of some of the places I have visited and the dishes I have tried from those places. I promise to give an honest review. I have read a lot on dishes from magazines and listened to reviews on my own cooking and others out there on youtube.
If you enjoy the info your welcome to follow this link:

to my cooking page which lists some of my favorite dishes that I have learned, created, or adapted from those I have tried in the world.
I hope you enjoy reading these reviews and hopefully getting the chance to share some of these travels as well.
