Alex Jackson

Alex Jackson is a chef and writer based in London. Alex Jackson's interest in cooking started a long time ago. From Birmingham, his passion for French cuisine was ignited by a year in Paris as part of his French degree at university, which served as an introduction to what simple French food really was. Alex has been working in restaurant kitchens for over 15 years, and from 2016 ran his own much-missed restaurant, Sardine, cooking with a focus on Provence, and wrote his first cookbook, Sardine (later re-released under the title Provençal). Alex's second book, Frontières, is an exploration of the food of France's borderlands: the shared recipes, history and traditions on either side of its borders, and outside influence on French cuisine in general. Nowadays Alex can be found manning the stoves as Head Chef at Noble Rot Soho on Greek Street.
