Gina M.

Gina Medeiros is a self-taught cook, former bartender and recipe tester. Originally from Massachusetts, she now lives in Northern California and loves to combine her passions for food and travel by taking cooking classes wherever she goes.

Her earliest memories are of watching her family cook traditional Portuguese food in their tiny kitchen and wishing she was old enough to help. Gina enjoys spending time in the kitchen and may be found making Portuguese Sausage, Ham, and Cheese Bread, Red Wine Chocolate Cake, Mapo Tofu, or Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies.
