Alex Hill is a D.C. born and now Brooklyn based, self-taught cook with a passion for making food that’s fun, functional, and affordable. Her affinity for cooking developed at an early age watching her mother, Evelyn, create mouthwatering dishes for their family combining both her Puerto Rican and African-American heritages. Young Alex had a knack for creating in the kitchen and never left her mother’s side – eventually taking over the cooking duties. At age 12, Alex’s first dish was a Vanilla Lime Flan and the rest is history!

In 2017, she created Just Add Hot Sauce as an outlet to show an expression of love to the people you care about the most … through their stomachs. From dinner parties and blogging recipes to teaching cooking classes and trying new techniques, cooking is what brings her joy. Whether you want to add a little flavor in your recipe or a boost in your day, you can always get a kick when you Just Add Hot Sauce!
