Her debut cookbook, Pass the Plate, features 100 recipes for creative but familiar takes on beloved comfort foods--almost all are brand-new, but there are also some beloved fan favorites. Dishes such as Chicken Schnitzel with Caramelized Lemon Gremolata and Many Mushrooms Lasagna to Broccoli Cheddar Beans with Crispy Cheddar Panko and Upside-Down Pineapple Coconut Cake will satisfy cravings and inspire confidence in the kitchen, regardless of your skill level. With personality-packed chapters such as Egg-Stravaganza, Nosh & Nibble, Salad Days, and Veg Out, everyone will find something to enjoy. Full of gorgeous photography and heartwarming stories about Carolina's Romanian family, Pass the Plate will bring comfort to your kitchen and have friends and family asking for seconds.
