Lakshmi shares with her readers over 200 dishes that will make your mouth water. Some of the prize recipes in here are her Roasted Citrus Chicken, Tangy Jicama Salad, Honeycomb Ice Cream (which pairs perfectly with any baked good or can be eaten on its own), and the Red Snapper with Green Apple and Mint Chutney.
