According to Silvia Baldini, “Stirring the Pot is more than just a compilation of recipes, it’s a book about cooking with a purpose. When we cook, we don’t only nourish bellies, we also empower communities and support and advance one another’s careers and dreams. Stirring the Pot empowers women and supports the hospitality community through the LDNY Scholarship program. It combines stunning recipes with useful cooking tips and celebrates visionary women who have influenced the food and beverage industry.”
