How fun is this new book planned by Dirt Candy NYC? Dirt Candy NYC is a brilliantly named vegetable based restaurant in NYC and is one of the only Michelin-recommended vegetarian restaurants in America. Even the most tired home cooks will drag their weary rears to be inspired by the recipes of chef/owner Amanda Cohen and illustrations by award-winning artist Ryan Dunlavey. Cohen attended the Natural Gourmet’s Chef Training Program and hopped around gaining popularity in many of New York City’s vegetarian restaurants. She opened Dirt Candy NYC in 2008 and uses the restaurant’s website to share some sassy blog posts about things like Why Food Costs Money.
