Chef Alex Forsythe

Picture this: In a large-scale venue, a church or an art museum perhaps, attendees of a themed dinner orchestrated and prepared by chef Alex Forsythe are seated, blindfolded, around a long table. The guests—winners of a four-course gourmet meal auctioned to benefit Aspen Camp of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing—are greeted by a variety of sounds, scents and flavors in creative combinations and sequences meant to heighten sensory awareness. The chill of blasting CO2 is followed by a warm soup; the crisp, clean aroma of hickory smoke accompanies morel risotto. Mexican music is a prelude to poblano relleno, the chef’s specialty, and the sweet rice beverage horchata.

Solar Cooking

Utilizing the Power of the Sun

Chef Alex Forsythe’s culinary passion ignited at the tender age of four, although his oven-baked Lego pie might not have been a crowd-pleaser. His dedication to the craft led him to hone his skills at prestigious institutions like the Culinary Institute of America, Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and the Apicius International School of Hospitality in Florence.

Alex is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Many years ago in Tulsa, I was coming in late with my husband after an 8 hour drive from Mississippi, and meeting a friend at my condo. I had no time to do anything to prepare for my guest. He was living next door and when we got off the elevator, he mt us and said, “Oh, I made a few dishes for you.” It was a full on masterpiece of a dinner! We had three courses starting with wine and appetizers. What a treat for weary travelers! Honestly, I knew then that he was destined to be a well-respected chef. His kindness continues, along with his wonderful recipes. Just two months ago, I was preparing an art event, titled Cuba Night. I knew he specialized in Cuban food and though he could not come to Oxford, Mississippi where I live, he sent detailed instructions, plus a video, and he had a conference call with me and my friend who was cooking the pork and putting the Cuban sandwiches together. From the right type of filo dough, to pickles and mustard, with specific instructions on layering and presentation, my friend was able to make his recipe and it was the the highlight of the evening. Everyone kept returning to the food table for another! And in the end we sold some wonderful paintings and photographs from Cuba!

I have hired Alex’s gourmet chef services numerous times for the staging of private aircraft that are for sale, or charter. Each time I have hired Alex, he always goes above and beyond my expectations for what I need. The food is always prepared beautifully, and plated so wonderful. Alex has such an incredible talent in preparing incredible dishes and has a flair for the dramatic. If I had a private event and needed a private gourmet chef, I would hire him in a heart beat!

Chef Alex was Awesome! He did an amazing job for my wife’s 40th bday party. He was available and from the start helped me coordinate the evening every step of the way. He was great with the kids and went out of his way to make a special menu for the kids. We had a great 4 course meal that was better than any restaurant food we’ve had in a while. He helped me plan the menu based on my wife’s tastes. He was on time, professional and provided us a wonderful evening with friends (one that we will remember for a vet long time!). Chef Alex even helped us clean up and went above and Beyond our expectations. He is kind and good hearted and wants to serve. Beyond that the food was terrific! I would highly recommend Chef Alex and I would use his services again without hesitation.

We LOVE Alex!!!

Our family rented a home in the Aspen area to go skiing. We were recommended a private chef to cook for us at any time during the trip, having a large family and a ton of kids, we decided to try it. It was the best decision ever! Alex had breakfast ready every morning so that all we had to do was get dressed and hit the slopes! He had dinner ready every night which saved us from having to get our tired kids ready, dressed and to the restaurant after a long day of skiing. Our kids LOVED Alex! He cooked with the kids after ski school and even taught a pizza cooking class with them. All of his meals were excellent, I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I would recommend Alex everytime you come to Aspen/Snowmass.
