Cookbook author Julia Turshen on her love of writing and leftovers
Bestselling cookbook author Julia Turshen who knew her calling very early in life, thumbing through cookbooks before she was old enough to read them. At 13 she launched her own little restaurant inside her parents New York apartment and started writing professionally behind the scenes. When she broke out on her own she hit it big. Her first two recipe books were critically acclaimed bestsellers and she's gone on to write for top newspapers and magazines. Last year she published her third cookbook, "Now and Again," with recipes for both entertaining and using leftovers along with personal essays.
