Review Quotes

"First, a heads up: this book is mayo-free. Instead, there's a room temp tuna pasta with crispy roasted white beans and capers. There are spicy kimchi noodles with sesame and cheddar frico. There's Green Goddess orecchiette with avocado, roasted pumpkin seeds, and corn nuts. There's Brown Butter Gnocchi Chaat, which quite honestly sounds perfect."--Maggie Hoffman, Epicurious,
