Dish: Mem­o­ries, Recipes and Deli­cious Bites (Whitecap)

Mar­ion Kane inter­viewed and became pals with for­mer Mafia cook Joe “Dogs” Ian­nuzzi while he was in the wit­ness pro­tec­tion plan. She shared an inti­mate meal with screen leg­end Sophia Loren at a small restau­rant in Toronto’s Lit­tle Italy. She vis­ited the late Julia Child at her Vic­to­rian home in Cam­bridge, Mass­a­chu­setts, where the queen of cui­sine cooked up a break­fast fea­tur­ing her famous scram­bled eggs. And now, in Dish, intre­pid Cana­dian food writer Mar­ion Kane has com­piled favourite columns about these and other culi­nary adven­tures and paired them with her best recipes.
