Alexandra Dudley
A ‘serial dinner party host,’ she is a true entertainer. Her podcast ‘Come for Supper’ delves into the lives of chefs, restaurateurs, authors, actors, and artists, revealing their most memorable dinner parties, kitchen mishaps, and ultimate dinner party guests, while allowing the audience to learn more about the backgrounds of some of the most celebrated figures in food and entertainment. Guests include Mark Hix, Monica Galetti, and Prue Leith. Once a month, she hosts the conversation in front of a live audience at Soho House, where she also hosts her regular series ‘How to Host a Dinner Party.’ A sell-out success, the event allows her to share her tips and tricks on how to effortlessly entertain and create the perfect evening. An avid host with a passion for seasonality and sustainable living, she has appeared on BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme and, in December 2019, filmed ‘How to Host a Christmas Party’ with The Guardian.
She is the monthly recipe columnist for Town & Country magazine (UK) and also writes on travel and luxury destinations. She is also a regular contributor to Table Magazine and has freelanced for publications like Foodism, Women's Health, and RED magazine. She’s catered retreats around the world and is available for event hosting and presenting, food & travel commissions, cooking masterclasses, content creation, and has worked with brands including Almond Board of California, Abel & Cole, Air China, Babylonstoren, Belazu, Caprice Holdings, Campari, Daylesford Organic, Grey Goose Vodka, Fever-Tree, Lavazza, Martini, Mirabeau Wines, Ricola, San Pellegrino, Sainsbury’s, TOAST, TASTE of London, Waitrose & Partners, and Wholefoods.
Her debut cookbook Land and Sea: Secrets to Simple, Sustainable Sensational Food (published by Orion in summer 2017) has received widespread glowing reviews. Offering advice on using the whole ingredient, Land and Sea brings sustainable eating to the table in true flavor and style. She has a relaxed approach in the kitchen, celebrating zero-waste cooking that is loved by many. She hosts both workshops and a summer series of ‘garden suppers’ at her home, as well as pop-up locations. In December 2019, she hosted and cooked for 90 people in aid of Rainforest Action Network, and in 2018, she hosted a three-course charity supper club for Streetsmart charity, raising money for Britain's homeless. She also worked with Radio Alice Pizzeria in January 2019 to create their ‘Veganuary’ pizza, which was extended to March following its success.
