“It has been a dream of mine to convey my passion for cooking and to share with you a collection of my family’s treasured recipes that I have been making for a long time. What an exhilarating feeling to see my cookbook finally come to fruition! My heart is filled with happiness because there’s nothing I like more than feeding the soul of my loved ones. Every meal that I prepare has a story that is reminiscent of a special moment, consequently creating lifetime memories. I’ve spent many years in my kitchen, learning through trials and errors, to bring you an array of delicious home-cooked meals from different cuisines. My eclectic cooking styles and culinary creations are influenced by my multicultural ethnicity and my travel adventures.”
William on Amazon wrote:Gina’s recipes are very straight forward and easy to make. The ingredients are all fresh and whole. She gives you suggestions on how to modify recipes if you follow a certain diet, provides a little history about the dish and the culture, and ends each dish with a wine pairing recommendation. She even includes her family in the book, which I thought was a nice added touch! There are so many recipes to choose from, that for me, the hardest part was deciding what to make first!
Cam on Amazon wrote:Since the beginning of last week, I had this craving for a savory and rustic dish. This book was recommended by a friend, and I was curious to see what it had to offer. I’m not exactly savvy when it comes to cooking, I usually just want to find the simplest, quickest way to get my food from scratch to the dinner plate. I don’t like drive-throughs or waiting in line for a meal. I’m not the type to wait to be served in a restaurant, and I dislike browsing through websites that are riddled with ads.
To my delight, this cookbook has simple instructions, and the categories are color-coded for easy access. I set out to buy the ingredients, and for sure, the instructions were easy for me to follow. Each recipe has its instructions clear and concise. I made the Chicken Cacciatore, and it came out delicious.
There’s a plethora of dishes to choose from, some wine pairings, and lots of great tips. I highly recommend this cookbook.
I can't wait to make every recipe in this book. Such soul food, full of flavor and the wine pairings are wonderful, especially for people who don't know much about wine like me, but still want to make nice wine pairings for a delightful dinner, or to entertain guests. I am loving all of the pasta dishes. So many amazing recipes you don't even know where to start!
Thank you Athina mou for featuring my cookbook on your blogpost. Without your editing and helping me, this cookbook would not have come to fruition. Thank you for being a part of my culinary journey and for making my dream come true. With much gratefulness and joy in my heart, Gina XO
It was an absolute pleasure Gina. Thank you for giving me the opportunity and for always supporting me too. xoxo A.
