CHEF ALANA CARROLL

Alana Hunnicutt-Carroll, known as Chef Alana, started her love for cooking at the age of seven years old when she baked her first box cake on her own She became inspired that baking was part of science but the chemistry between the ingredients and baking was done out of love From that point on, she had so much confidence in herself that she began cooking breakfast for her and her siblings.
