Being a fashion week habitué, I visit New York during February and September every year. And during each visit, dining at the Candle Café is always on my itinerary.
So, seeing a recipe book from one of my favorite New York restaurants is a treat. Because although I am not a vegan, I do enjoy eating healthy; so why not eat healthy with the best!
