Dirt Candy: A Cookbook Flavor-Forward Food from the Upstart New York City Vegetarian Restaurant

The book . . . is chock-full of recipes and is an entertaining read. You ll feel as if you know Cohen personally by the end of it, you ll probably want to eat more vegetables, and you ll certainly have a lot more respect for any professional chef in the kitchen, and vegetarian food, for that matter.

Rarely do I find a cookbook that not only is instructional and precise in its teaching, but funny, emotional, smart, and graphically thrilling. That cookbook is Dirt Candy. . . . Why has no one written a cookbook like this before? It s BRILLIANT! . . . This is a book I could not put down once I opened it.

The writing is breezy and Dunlavey s art is amusing and animated. This would make a terrific gift for the cooks in your life, even if they aren t comics readers. Not only will they enjoy it, but it s a way of leading them through our comics door.
