Iterating over a nested dictionary

You are writing a program that iterates over the following nested dictionary to determine if the dishes need to be served cold or hot.

my_menu = {
  'sushi' : {
    'price' : 19.25,
    'best_served' : 'cold'
  },
  'paella' : {
    'price' : 15,
    'best_served' : 'hot'
  },
  'samosa' : {
    'price' : 14,
    'best_served' : 'hot'
  },
  'gazpacho' : {
    'price' : 8,
    'best_served' : 'cold'
  }
}

Can you complete the program so that it outputs the following?

Sushi is best served cold.
Paella is best served hot.
Samosa is best served hot.
Gazpacho is best served cold.
