[Video] Romantic, Greek Culinary Memory in Mykonos, Greece
During the course of one’s lifetime we will all have eaten many meals whether alone or with others. Some which are ordinary and others quite special. The mere scent and taste of a certain food or even a photo can transport us back to a wonderful food memory which includes the people, the food and the location.
A Greek salad or horiatiki (villager salad) is what I love to make at home as often as possible. Its gorgeous colors and shapes of ripe tomatoes, green or red peppers, Kalamata olives, cucumber slices sprinkled with Greek oregano and lemon juice and completed with a glisten of olive oil and creamy feta cheese (made from goat and or sheep’s milk) are a feast for the senses. It is also take me back to my wedding and honeymoon on the Greek islands of Santorini and Crete and our recent trip to Naxos and Mykonos.
Watch the video below and join me as we enjoy a Greek salad by the Mediterranean sea at a Greek taverna, Alexandros, located in the Little Venice section of Mykonos:

A Celebration of a California Healthy Harvest
Looking for ways to enjoy more love, romance, joy, happiness and healthy, love infused food at the table? Want to feel and feast like a god and goddess and still look and feel healthy? Listen in to my show Romancing the Table™ with Modern Day Goddess: a celebration of life love and food. This fun, inspiring, informative show explores key ingredients that nurture and delight the palette, heart and soul. It airs on the voiceamerica network which you can access from my website here.
This week I am celebrating the delicious and healthy harvest, especially since I live in Mediterranean like Santa Barbara, CA. I feel so blessed to live in California and especially beautiful Santa Barbara I decided to celebrate my local farmers and food artisans.
I interviewed Theo Stephan, founder and owner of Global Gardens & www.oliverevolution.com an organic gourmet food products & organic olive oil mail order company and only food tasting room in Santa Ynez wine country located in Los Olivios, CA and Sam Edelman, Gen. Manager of the Santa Barbara, CA Certified Farmers Market Association (www.sbfarmersmarket.org) & Tiffany Cooper, Education Director from Fairview Gardens – the center for Urban Agriculture (www.fairviewgardens.org) on buying local fresh produce. Both Theo and Tiffany also talk about how to have fun cooking with kids. Tune in for a healthy harvest celebration you can share with your loved ones wherever you live.
