Kristal Cooks. Kristal Manning is creating Italian-inspired, healthy dishes all the time. She was taught how to cook as a toddler in her Italian Grandmother's kitchen and has been coming up with new recipes ever since. She also has tips on how to become a better hostess, the 3 rooms in your house that should always be clean, etc. With her theory of bringing back the lost concept of young people having the skills and confidence to cook for themselves, family and friends as well as becoming wonderful hostesses, she has written a cookbook/guide for them called "The Dirty Apron". Kristal is currently searching for the right publisher to make her book available to the public. In the meantime, you can read about Kristal and her book by clicking HERE.
