Alexina Anatole

Alexina Anatole is a chef, TV presenter, and writer based in London. After reaching the final of UK MasterChef in 2021, she made a brave career change from the trading floor to the food world. Anatole also writes Small Wins, a Substack newsletter that enhances your cooking and your life in small, manageable ways. She has been featured on BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen, Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, and BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme. She also runs sold-out events, including Sel, London’s most intimate supper club, and Cocoa POP, a chocolate-themed pop-up with chocolatier Octavia Lamb. Alexina is of mixed heritage: the granddaughter of chicken farmers from Cambridgeshire, England, and Saint Lucian grandparents who arrived in London during the Windrush era. Part of a series on the five tastes, Sweet is her second book—her first book, Bitter, was published in 2024.
