"Idowu brings readers sweet and savory classics inspired by Ghanaian and Nigerian flavors, offering recipes for dinner, dessert, and everything in between ... Readers who enjoy the depth of flavor brown butter provides will not be disappointed: brown butter is the star of this show, used in most of the recipes, making them truly flavor packed. No foodie reader should miss this downright indulgent treat of a book from Idowu."--Booklist
"Remi Idowu's hearty cookbook Sugar & Spice rejoices in comfort foods that brim with fusion flavors. Idowu draws from her Ghanaian-Nigerian heritage and her life in England to feature tried-and-true family staples and creative riffs on takeout favorites ... The photographs of Idowu's family dining together underscore the book's personal nature, with some recipes marked as relatives' favorites. The book's baked goods are a highlight. Helpful tips about oven temperatures, measuring with a food scale, and choosing pan sizes guide home bakers toward better results. The book's eclectic approach to cooking vehicles, from using an air fryer for donuts to microwaving a single-serving mug cake, is widening too. Themed around warm dishes and decadent treats, Sugar & Spice is a robust cookbook for cold-weather days and potlucks."--Foreword Reviews
"Sugar & Spice is a great pick for those looking to treat themselves with both dinner and dessert all in one book. Remi has developed the recipes with the home cook in mind at every step. There is a wonderful variety of meat-based meals alongside vegetarian and even vegan options. Some are perfect for weeknight or quick solo meals/desserts, while others are meant for larger gatherings or entertaining."--Tara's Multicultural Table
