“Reading A Taste of Dawn is like having lunch with a sophisticated friend who is smarter than you, who knows all the cool kids, and is nice enough to introduce you to them. As a chef, I have to say that I truly enjoy Dawn’s unique take on the world of food, dining and chefs….. she understands both the art and the stagecraft of what we do. If you’re a food lover (and who isn’t?)  she won’t steer you wrong.”
