Mediterranean Recipes

Mediterranean cuisine has a special place in my heart. I was born in Paris, spent many summers there and my husband is Lebanese. I've visited Spain so many times, I can probably call it my second home. The food is just so rich, colorful, flavor and has so much variety, it's like Heaven!

One of my all time favorites is my Mediterranean Cod Recipe, it's quick, colorful, light and flavorful. It's my most popular video on Youtube. You can check it out! Mediterranean Cod YouTube Video. If you like Shrimp, then you must try my Spanish Garlic Shrimp (Gambas Al Ajillo), it's a cheap trip to Spain!

Hi, I'm Lola

Just your not so average girl next door who loves all things food. I was born in Paris, France to a tribe of women who love to cook and bake! I bring you quick and easy recipes from all over the world, but my heart (and taste buds) belong to Mediterranean cuisine. As a mom and stepmom to four kids, quick and delicious is my goal!
