Samantha Gianulis' Debut Release, Little Grapes on the Vine...Mommy's Musings on Food & Family Tackles a New Book Genre: Essayistic Recipes

Life has a way of happening in the kitchen, and food forges bonds that last forever. When Samantha Gianulis left catering and event planning to be a full-time mom, she developed her love of writing and cooking, giving us her debut food memoir, Little Grapes on the Vine...Mommy's Musings on Food & Family. Greek-by-marriage, mom of three, her book is written from behind the apron, with 62 recipes and 23 essays about becoming a wife, a parent, and a grown-up. Her poignant essays speak to a culture of foodies, parents, and anyone who eats when they are happy, eats to celebrate, or eats to feel better.

San Diego, CA (PRWeb) March 11, 2007 -- Comfort food advocate Samantha Gianulis knew she was on to something when her children learned to read by following recipes. To celebrate food as her family's expression of love, Samantha recently published a collection of 23 essays and 62 recipes in Little Grapes on the Vine…Mommy's Musings on Food & Family.

Samantha provides a unique blend of heart-warming essays and workable recipes to create a new genre of writing.

"I've always loved cooking and writing," admits Sam. "Little Grapes on the Vine is dinner theater on the page."
