AWARD-WINNING DINING AT LAMBERT’S COVE INN

Chef Jimmy Alvarado was born and raised in Lima, Peru and has cooking in his blood.  Nearly everyone in his family are professional chefs. Jimmy attended the the Culinary Institute of America in New York, and has been living on Martha’s Vineyard for close to 7 years.

Jimmy has been the Chef at various spots on the island, including The Beach Plum Inn, the Harbor View Hotel and Isola. He has also worked in New York City, New Jersey, Philadelphia and St. John’s.

As the Executive Chef at Woods at Lambert’s Cove Inn, Jimmy is creating New England cuisine with a modern twist. He believes in starting with traditional ingredients, but altering your perspective on how they can be used. Above all else, Jimmy believes deeply in fostering close relationships with local farmers and fisherman.

Jimmy has been reviewed several times by MV Times and The Vineyard Gazette for his excellent and creative cuisine.  In 2016, he won the Local Wild Food Challenge. When Jimmy is not cooking, you will most likely find him riding around the island on his motorcycle exploring and foraging the island for fresh mushrooms, rose hips, and watercress.
