Now, prominent journalist Allen Salkin serves up the 1st book yet written about this colorful world of big appetites, big money, and big drama in “FROM SCRATCH: Inside the Food Network.” The book also contains exclusive material on what really happened behind the scenes of the Paula Deen controversy!!!
