Sofia Reino, Recipe Tester

A list of all the recipes Sofia Reino has tested.

Sofia Reino grew up in many kitchens. Her parents were diplomats, so her life was one of a gypsy, moving from one country to another and one cuisine to the next. Her passion for food began while she lived in Norway. At age nine, she’d run downstairs to the kitchen as soon as she finished her homework to help her mother and the cook prepare a variety of meals. The dishes were mostly Portuguese but with an international twist. She spent each summer in Portugal, where again she enjoyed countless hours in the kitchen, this time with her avó (grandmother) and the kitchen helpers. After living for more than 18 years in the US, she moved back to her home country, Portugal, where she has an organic farm in Sintra.

The perfect base for so many dishes, Italian or otherwise. Sprinkle with cheese, top with sauce or meat, drizzle with honey or maple syrup, let it cool and fry it…shall we go on?

Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings

These Sriracha chicken wings are super enticing despite being super spicy—or is it precisely because they’re super spicy?
