Title: Dirt Candy: A Cookbook
Author: Amanda Cohen and Ryan Dunlavey
Genre: Graphic Novel, Cookbook, Memoir
Dirt Candy is kind of a unique book. It is a graphic novel which tells the story of Amanda Cohen opening her NYC restaurant Dirt Candy. Dirt Candy is a restaurant which specializes in vegetables. They don't particularly identify as a "vegetarian" restaurant; their goal is to elevate vegetables and influence people to add more of them to their diets. This graphic novel combines small comic vignettes with recipes from the kitchen of Dirt Candy. Many of the comics are related to the life of the restaurant owner and people who work in restaurants. It is also part memoir. Dirt Candy is a short read but has lots of interesting recipes that may turn you on to inviting more vegetables into your life!
