About Chef Alicia Smith
Chef Alicia’s journey began in high-end hospitality, with experience at Wolfgang Puck Catering where she helped bring events like the Oscars Governor’s Ball to life, and at the Michelin-starred Le Comptoir, where she contributed to earning the restaurant its coveted star. Today, she works as a private chef for celebrity clients and curates bespoke dining experiences. With over a decade of culinary expertise, Chef Alicia Smith blends artistic creativity with unwavering attention to detail.
A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts and Cornell’s Women’s Entrepreneurship program, she is passionate about creating fresh, vibrant flavors. She loves immersing herself in every aspect of her craft - adjusting every element until each dish or dessert comes into perfect focus. Her goal is simple - to deliver flavors that burst in your mouth celebrating the finest, freshest ingredients.
For years, she balanced two demanding worlds: the fast-paced realm of entertainment and the expressive, sensory-rich space of culinary artistry. While working in corporate law for a large studio, she built a parallel career as a chef - refining her skills, growing a dedicated clientele and cultivating a signature style rooted in creativity, precision and beauty.
Today, she’s fully devoted to her culinary vision.
At thebespoke, Chef Alicia offers immersive private chef services and her signature exquisite edible floral arrangements that elevate any table. Her botanically inspired centerpieces—crafted from wafer paper and fresh herbs turn food into art and gatherings into unforgettable experiences.

COOKING IT FORWARD
Beyond her work as a private chef, Alicia leads a transformative youth culinary program that connects children with both their food
and its origins.
Through interactive cooking demonstrations and farmers market explorations, children ages 8 to 12 learn to identify fresh, seasonal produce and transform these local ingredients into healthy,
delicious meals.
The program emphasizes the importance of supporting local farmers while teaching young cooks essential kitchen skills and nurturing their understanding of sustainable food systems.
