Testimonials and reviews:

Recipes, wine pairings, and travel stories, too good and heart-warming not to share! October 20, 2018

“What happens when a passionate and caring person attends to feeding not just the bodies but also the souls of their loved ones? They accumulate a treasury of recipes, wine pairing suggestions, and travel stories, too good and too heart-warming not to share with the rest of the world! Go ahead and try ANY one of the recipes: steps are clear (feels like a motherly figure is there to guide you!), tips are excellent, and the pairing suggestions will make you feel comfortable even if you know nothing about wine. By suggesting wholesome ingredients and bringing together both traditional and current flavor combinations, Gina Zarcadoolas will make you feel like you’re recreating the coziest of comfort foods–and you’ll also be able to get a little fancy when needed!” Athina D. Pantazatou, freelance writer and line editor from www.kickingbackthepebbles.com.

“Gina not only offers a wide variety of delicious salads, but her salad recipes are a wonderful way to start a meal. One of my favorite salads Gina makes is the tabbouleh. It is so easy to make and such a lovely recipe. All of Gina’s salads are made with love and fresh seasonal ingredients.” Chef Krystina Kalapothakos, author of 2 cookbooks and food blogger at www.kouzounaskitchen.com.  

“My dear Gina, I give you a 5 star and more for this dish. This is everything that started my passion for cooking. A true authentic dish from Naples which gladly is where my Nonno was born and raised. The simplicity of this dish speaks volume. My favorite dish of all-time is Spaghetti al Pomodoro con Basilico. You are amazing and completely fed my soul to see this…” Natasha, blogger and food writer at www.cookingwithtash.com.
