In fact, all of her dishes appeal to anyone looking for flavour-forward food, including Fennel Salad with Grilled Cheese Croutons, Broccoli Rabe Fettuccini, and Popcorn Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce.Dirt Candy: A Cookbook will break ground in the cookbook category, setting a new standard with its hip look and fresh approach.
