Did you know?
Most people believe that yellow, white and pink tomatoes are low in acidity.  That's not the case. A lot of misinformation has been printed in the popular press about "low acid" tomatoes referring to those with a sweet, non-tart taste. The higher sugar content actually masks the acidic flavour.  Since all tomatoes are high in acid, Gina adds sugar to her tomato sauce.

Who is Gina? Gina’s Kitchen is named for cookbook author Gina Patterson. Gina is the daughter of Italian immigrants who learned to cook at her mother’s side. With this love of good cooking ingrained in her, she has  been cooking ever since she was a young girl.. Gina’s first cookbook is called Irresistible Italian. She has included many classics in this cookbook including Spaghetti and Meatballs as well as Veal Marsala. Gina bases all of her cooking  on the freshest ingredients, many that she grows herself. Her recipes  include a wide range of dishes appropriate to lunch time, dinner time and just about any other time. Her intention was to give you the ability to create the same flavours. And her recipes are also designed to keep your food budget under control. With lists of ingredients to keep around and easy to follow recipes, no wonder this cookbook is a hit.

 

Hi Gina,
I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I tried the pizza recipe and it turned out great!  We've never done homemade pizza before and you've created two fans!

Hi Gina!
I just wanted to tell you that my mom made your Manicotti and Caesar Salad on the  weekend, and I made the Italian Wedding Soup. It was unbelievably delectable!  My kids loved the soup so much that Zayne had 3 bowls. We are looking forward to trying more!
Thanks for the great recipes!
