«Alexina brings the life, soul and joy of baking and matches it with incredible technical knowledge. Sweet truly is a love letter to the ‘leave room for dessert’ people of the world.»

Liberty Mendez, author of 'I'll Bake'

«Sweet is packed with everything I love! Alexina has put together such a clever and beautiful book full of recipes that are so well layered and considered. Sweet gives readers both the tools and confidence to balance flavours and make their own delicious bakes. The sweetest addition to any kitchen!»

Benjamina Ebuehi, author of 'I'll Bring Dessert'

«Absolutely beautiful… the imagery really grabs you and sells the idea that everything is incredibly good and that you should immediately head to the kitchen and bake… The second thing you’ll notice is that the recipes involve a wonderful palette of ingredients and flavours… You’ll feel like a more confident baker after reading and baking from this book, and you’ll have exciting and interesting recipes to boot.»

Edd Kimber, author of One Tin Bakes and 2010 winner of the Great British Bake Off

«This is not your typical cookbook. Alexina masterfully captures the art of baking, delving deep into the significance of each ingredient. Her inventive recipes and bold flavour combinations leap off the page, inviting you to try something a little different than usual. A personal favourite is her white chocolate, miso, and sesame cookie— a blend of sweet and savory that perfectly sums up her approach to baking.»

Remi Idowu, recipe developer @foodbyremi

«Sweet is such a joy. Alexina strikes the perfect balance between pleasure, understanding, a little science and really special, inventive, hungry-making recipes.»

Mark Diacono, author of 'Vegetables: Easy and Inventive Vegetarian Suppers'

«What I love about Alexina’s approach to recipes and cooking is her thoroughness. She researches and researches and makes every effort to understand the inception of an ingredient, technique or dish. So when she comes to use it or cook it she is armed with knowledge, engagement and connection, enabling her to cook thoughtfully and masterfully.»
