It's been quite a while since the Food Network aired a quality baking show, so I was pretty excited when I heard word of a new show coming to Food Network this month:
Dessert First with
Anne Thornton. I had high hopes but low expectations as I checked out an advance copy of the first episode. After all, the Network is inexperienced in pastry food porn; could they pull it off?
