Listen Later

Big bold flavors and a big bold personality — Alison Roman brings it  all in this book about “having people over” and not “entertaining,”  thank you very much. Renee thinks Roman shows her immature side and we  look past the very 1970s photography style to get to the meat of this  popular cookbook.
