“I'm one who loves to read the personal notes and whimsy that cooks share about their recipes - the origin, the disasters, the best accompaniments. I feel a kinship. That is what I feel and hear in Alex's writing. Be prepared to salivate and smile in equal measure. I'm pulling up my chair.”...”

— Linda McLachlan, Writing in the Wild

“Delicious recipes with a dash of wisdom”...”
