Veggie Delight
Please eat only organic produce because it is substantially richer in antioxidants, nutrients - vitamins, minerals, enzymes and macronutrients and its non-GMO. Organic produce cannot be genetically modified in any way. Also by eating organic produce you are helping the environment by reducing pollution. Organic farming is more responsible in that it reduces pollution (air, water and soil). Read more...

My vegetarian and vegan cookbook is mainly Mediterranean with a California twist. You don't have to be either a vegetarian nor a vegan to enjoy my recipes.
I dedicate "Veggie Delight" to my son Nicolas who is the apple of my eyes and whom I have taught to eat healthy and make healthy choices whenever possible.
I hope you enjoy my recipes.
With all my love,

Veggie Delight
4.99
I was fortunate to have a mother who was the best cook ever. She had her own Catering business based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She specialized mainly in Mediterranean cuisine. I was her right hand and helped her in everything possible including cooking and the administrative part. My passion for cooking grew through my mother's devotion and love in the kitchen and cuisine. One day I started to journal my families favorite vegetarian recipes and "Veggie Delight" began. Please eat only organic produce because it is substantially richer in antioxidants, nutrients - vitamins, minerals, enzymes and macronutrients and its non-GMO. Organic produce cannot be genetically modified in any way. Also by eating organic produce you are helping the environment by reducing pollution. Organic farming is more responsible in that it reduces pollution (air, water and soil). My vegetarian and vegan cookbook is mainly Mediterranean with a California twist. You don't have to be either a vegetarian nor a vegan to enjoy my recipes. I dedicate "Veggie Delight" to my son Nicolas who is the apple of my eyes and whom I have taught to eat healthy and make healthy choices whenever possible. I hope you enjoy my recipes.
