A Drop of Ladi & My Greek Soul

“The tantalizing aromas of the Horiatiki Salata, Patates, and freshly baked Pita Bread come to mind when I think of Chef Krystina’s culinary creations. As someone who was raised in a family that values its heritage and culture, Krystina’s passion for cooking and unbreakable bond to her roots is reflected in each and every recipe she so lovingly shares with us. This cookbook is a testament to Krystina’s dedication to her ancestral roots and a celebration of simple joys of life—hence be prepared to be taken on a gastronomical adventure around Greece. Also, expect to be delighted by the recipes’ modern spin of a Californian girl.” —Culinary Mosaic, Leyla Damirova

“Krystina’s passion for Greek food and culture is infectious and permeates every page of her book. But it takes more than just passion to write and create a collection of recipes that are literally mouthwatering and easy to replicate—it takes skill, talent, and hard work and that is also something Krystina has in abundance. Originally from the region of Mani, she has combined her conceptual knowledge of traditional Greek cuisine, passed down from her yiayia, with the modern vibes of living in California (and living in California is something I’ve been jealous of for a while now!) to become one of today's most recognized American Greek chefs.” —Theomichaels.com, Chef Theo Michaels
