Alex Hollywood
Alex Hollywood is a passionate home cook and family food writer. She has a no-fuss approach to cookery that makes her incredibly appealing to the general public. Her warmth, gentle manner and honesty have not gone unnoticed by Lorraine and we've loved having her appear in our kitchen.
Her simple but effective recipes are always greatly received by her huge twitter following and it is only a matter of time before we will be able to purchase a book containing all these wonderful accessible family meal recipes.
Her background in marketing and PR has been a huge help in enabling the success of daily recipes via her popular Twitter account: @HollywoodWife and her profile continues to rise.
As well as having her recipes published by various publications such as The Mail On Sunday, The Daily Mail and The Times, Alex has recently fronted Tesco's successful ‘Christmas Chocolate’ promotion.
Since the age of four Alex has been a prolific and enthusiastic cook. Her growing up was heavily influenced by her French and Scandinavian family background and these European influences are often seen in her recipes.
Alex went on to discover many innovative ideas and exciting flavours during her world-wide travels which she now uses to make unusual twists to everyday home cooking - perfect for busy families who want something a bit more exciting for their midweek meal!
Over the years Alex has cooked for family, friends and on a semi-professional basis in the French Alps. She lived and worked in Cyprus for many years, initially as a Scuba Diving Instructor, then in Public Relations for the Exclusive Annabelle Hotel. Over the years Ales has actively been working with high-profile celebrity chefs assisting in recipe development and writing.
Alex lives in Kent and with her family and chocolate Labrador Rufus.
