Her cookbook, Good and Cheap, available via PDF, has been downloaded more than 90,000 times in the first couple of weeks since she posted it on her website. But going viral isn’t the intent of this online effort, which Brown developed as the final project for her master's degree in food studies at New York University. Plenty of people may want to cook good food on the cheap, but Brown’s target audience is the many Americans who rely on food stamps to get by—living on just $4 a day. That’s why she’s raising money on Kickstarter to produce a print version of Good and Cheap. ___________________________________________________________________ Sense of Style Tony Abeyta is no stranger to the Turquoise Gala and we are honored to have him back this year.
