Each dish is thoroughly researched to make the final product taste and/or look as close to the source material as possible. Of course, everyone will imagine differently, but Cassandra hopes to give dedicated geeks a run for their tastebuds.In 2014, she released the Geeky Chef Cookbook, which, to her immense delight and gratitude, has been very well-received.
