Testimonials:

“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 tabouleh. 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, http://www.kouzounaskitchen.com Author of the cookbook Back to My Roots

“My dear Gina, I give you a 5 star and more for this dish. This is everything that started my passion for cooking, and I am so very glad you did this post. A true authentic dish from Naples which gladly is where my Nonno was born and raised. The simplicity of this dish speaks volumes! My favorite dish of all-time is Spaghetti al Pomodoro con Basilico. You are amazing and completely fed my soul to see this. Yes, the recipe must be in your cookbook that I am so excited about. Love this and you.” – Natasha Panacci, http://www.cookingwithtash.com

“Gina, I would give anything to have a taste of your Greek-Style Shrimp Saganaki! So delicious! All my senses would love to try this amazing dish. Your food has so much soul, story, and passion! Your fresh pasta looks superb! You are a superstar, Gina! Good food, good wine, good atmosphere. I see it all shining through your pictures and your captions.” – Camila Hurst, http://www.piesandtacos.com

“I love that each recipe has the history and story for it. This helps set the context for why you would want to make each recipe. Gina’s diverse knowledge of foods from around the world along with her knowledge of wines makes enjoyment of each meal more complete. Some favourites of mine are Greek Goddess salad with its deep roots in an ancient Mediterranean culture. The picture an setting are lovely and make you want to dive right in. A really unusual recipe for me was “A Kissable Kibbeh to Caress your Palate” with a great picture of her mother making this unique recipe. It is helpful to have notes about what to do if you cannot find certain ingredients so that you can still enjoy the recipe and make it.
Great job Gina. Highly recommended.” Cathy Connally – Cookbook Author Canada
