The Basic Art of Italian Cooking with Chef Maria Liberati

The Basic Art of Italian Cooking w/Chef Maria Liberati, Autho, Entrepreneur, former Int'l Supermodel


As a former international supermodel, Maria Liberati never dreamed that she would go from being a fashion diva to a domestic diva. Ironically, while jet setting off to modeling assignments around the world, Maria became closer to the simplicity of life and food in the country setting of her family's vineyard in the mountains of central Italy. Her passion with food began at the early age of 4, when she would accompany 'nonno' (grandfather) on his early morning Saturday trips to the Italian Market in Philadelphia to pick out all the fresh ingredients for the Sunday family meal. Eventually, Maria began writing food articles and restaurant review columns. She was soon asked to conduct cooking programs while in Italy and then in the States. The rest, as they say, is history. Currently, she divides her time between her office and residence in the USA and Italy. Maria's cooking philosophy is to create recipes that simply transform the freshest ingredients without changing their essential flavors.

Maria shared "old world" menu ideas and a simple recipe that is sure to impress. Listen to the interview on The Recipe Box.

From Kitchen to Market - Jodi Spindell of Spindell Farms

Simply Outragious Pomegranate Vinegar - Interview with Jodi Spindel

Ever wonder how to successfully take a product that you've created in your home and introduce it into the local, regional, and national marketplace?

Well, you want to tune in for tonight's show with my guest Jodi Spindel of Spindel Farms and creator of Simply Outragious Pomegranate Vinegar.

Spindel Farms has been providing its unique blend of Simply Outrageous Pomegranate Vinegar since 1994. In that time it has amassed a loyal following of people who love and use it because of its healthy ingredients, its versatility, but mostly because it tastes so good!

The concept for Jodi's company was started in 1994 in Southern California. Her prolific pomegranate trees and love for cooking inspired the creation of her first product, Simply Outrageous Pomegranate Vinegar.

Originally bottled and given only as gifts, Jodi entered Simply Outrageous Pomegranate Vinegar in The Ventura County Fair in 2003 and took a first prize. The award motivated her to consider a commercial venture.

In 2006, Jodi formed a partnership with Nancy Phillips, friend and fan of the product. Their partnership has created a passionate desire to enrich the kitchens of those who love and appreciate vinegar, pomegranates and good food!
