Her friends and family know her as Alice. And, she has an alter ego, Ally. Her trademark cuisine is most aptly described as ‘Bohemian Bold’-simple, yet sophisticated dishes – hippie chic. That means seasonal vegetables, traditional cuts of meats, seafood, fresh herbs, spices and seasonings, fashioned into unlikely combinations resulting in eclectic ‘new’ dishes with varied cultural and global influences.

Ally’s been blazing the culinary home cook scene winning accolades for her innovative recipes in cooking contests like the prestigious Dole California Cook-Off, Gallo Family Vineyards, Fiji Water, World Food Championships and many more. She’s now the first-ever social media ambassador for Dole Packaged Foods, is a GE “Great American Grandma,” has a new cookbook that is an Amazon Top 100 International, Ally’s Kitchen ~ A Passport for Adventurous Palates, is a regular contributor to the International Housewares Association’s ‘Inspired Homes’ and has hundreds of thousands of devoted boho followers who love her style, panache and twist on living and life!
