Hi, I’m Sophia—an American/Italien chef behind MedTastes, your companion on a flavorful journey through the Mediterranean.
Let’s know more about me!
My love for Mediterranean cuisine didn’t come from a single moment, but from a long, beautiful adventure through the sun-drenched countries that hug the sea. I spent many months living across Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Croatia—soaking in not just the sunshine, but the smells, flavors, and traditions of each place.
What struck me the most during my travels was how much these countries have in common when it comes to food. They all know the true meaning of flavor. Fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, golden olive oil, ripe tomatoes, and simple ingredients transformed into meals that bring people together. Every bite felt like a celebration of life.
But it wasn’t just the food. It was the lifestyle. The relaxed pace, the meals shared slowly in the open air, the laughter around the table, and the connection between nature and nourishment. The Mediterranean isn’t just a region—it’s a feeling. One of warmth, simplicity, and joy.
Now, back in the U.S., I’ve made it my mission to bring that feeling into American kitchens.
Whether you’re exploring these flavors for the first time or looking to deepen your love for Mediterranean food, I’m here to guide you.
My recipes are rooted in tradition but always open to creativity—designed to be approachable, nourishing, and full of soul.
MedTastes is more than just a collection of recipes. It’s a bridge between cultures, a space for curiosity, and a gentle reminder that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. I believe that with a handful of fresh ingredients and a little love, anyone can bring a bit of the Mediterranean home.
So pour yourself a glass of wine, slice up some olives, and stay awhile. I’m so glad you’re here.
