Edick, Christina Cavallaro: - Christina was born and raised in Southern California. Growing vegetables in a backyard garden was part of her Italian American heritage. She has a passion for cooking all things Italian and, because of an overabundant garden, zucchini. Christina loves finding new recipes, trying them out, and then tweaking them to make the recipe not only taste better, but easier to make. When Christina is not in the kitchen she can be found traveling, with Italy heading the list. She shares her rich expertise giving food lectures, classes, or demonstrations. Visiting wineries local and abroad is yet another passion. Check out her food and travel blog at: https: //christinasfoodandtravel.com
