Gloucester Road Books are teaming up with their neighbours at Boston Tea Party to host a special event with Masterchef finalist, chef, and writer, Alexina Anatole, and her dynamic new cookbook, Sweet.
The second in a series of five titles which are set to become cookery classics, Sweet, subtitled the secret to the best desserts, is full of temptation, surprises and mouth-watering delights. Highlights include Alexina's chocolate 'dream' cake, white chocolate miso & sesame cookies, matcha tiramisu, and rum + grapefruit babas. With 80 moreish marvels within its sumptuous pages, Sweet is perfectly timed for some Easter indulgence.
And what’s more, Alexina will be bringing along one or two samples from the book to the event.
