Hi!

I’m Lisa Botto and I love to cook home cooked meals!

A little bit about me: I love to cook, entertain, golf, and spend time with family & friends.

I come from a large family with a Middle Eastern background and that has influenced many of my recipes. Our family is large and diverse, with taste buds ranging from vegan to meat-eating, and everything in between. The creative recipes in this cookbook reflect all of those different tastes, to satisfy the most unique palates. And of course, desserts are included!

These books are proof that with passion and focus, you truly can make your dreams come true. From a cosmetologist, to a young stay-at-home mom, to writing 2 cookbooks, and working on my third book. I am grateful and blessed to have the support of my family and close friends. 

My cookbooks have recipes that I grew-up with; it’s a little taste of home, a little bit of learning, and a whole lot of fun memories.

I hope everyone enjoys trying my recipes by encouraging you to further develop your cooking skills and a love of the kitchen.

Once again, thank you to everyone who has reviewed my draft books, tasted some of my recipes and enjoyed good times around the dinner table; there is no greater gift to an author. Thank you also for taking the time out of your day to read and try my recipes and to create and experiment to make them a little of your own.

I hope you truly enjoy the journey to further develop your cooking skills and love for the kitchen by trying some of these delicious recipes.

There is no love sincerer than the love of food.

Lisa Botto
