Wilted Dandelion Salad with Cured Meats
The mother of my childhood best friend used to make salad from dandelion greens that grew in her yard. She is one of the most elegant, magical, beautiful women I have ever known.

If you are someone who cooks food for decadent parties, I cannot recommend these two books strongly enough….
