Reviews

In the "Alice's" book, you'll find recipes both delightful and down to earth. In only six steps, you can re-create the shop's popular berry scones... A savory and crunchy cumin carrot sandwich takes just minutes. The vanilla tea-infused granola or the blueberry lemon cake are, well, a piece of cake. -- NY Daily News
