THE NAUGHTY COOKBOOK

Over-the-top, decadent, and outrageously delicious are just a few words that Samantha Schnur uses to describe the food she creates on her social media platform, The Naughty Fork.

For Samantha, "naughty" is a vibe. It's found in the cheese pull, the drip of sauce, or the crunch of buttery toast from sandwiches, nachos, pasta, and other craveworthy comfort dishes. Recipes for party foods like dips, snacks, appetizers, and hors d'ouevres make this book a must-have for home cooks.

Taking cues from restaurant dishes that range from fast food (Big Mac Smash Tacos) to high-end (Carbone- inspired Calabrian Spicy Rigatoni), Samantha gives some recipes a "naughty" spin, with bolder, punchier ingredients, as well as a "nice" option that's a little lighter. Even breakfast gets this treatment, with Strawberry Shortcake Baked Oats, which are naughty with honey-whipped cream cheese or nice with low-fat Greek yogurt.

Samantha Schnur is a viral content creator, influencer, and recipe developer behind the multimedia brand The Naughty Fork. A Forbes 30 Under 30 member, Samantha's love for food began with the restaurant scene in Miami, where she was born, raised, and still resides. She started @thenaughtyfork Instagram page as a college student, to tell her friends and community about great restaurants in the area. That quickly grew into a business and led Samantha to creating her own restaurant-inspired dishes at home.
