About the Author

Pia, the author of this cookbook, is originally from Denmark.                                                                                         

 

Many people who have not had a chance to visit the northern part of Europe think of Denmark as a country with snow and mountains, while in fact its climate is similar to Seattle, Washington but without any mountains.

 

Denmark is the land of a down-to-earth royal family, the Little Mermaid, and friendly people who like to have a good time and enjoy delicious food.  The capital is wonderful Copenhagen; the countryside is charming, green, beautiful and hilly.  Denmark, a Scandinavian country consisting of several islands and long coastlines, has nice, broad fine sand beaches and is also the motherland of the Vikings.

 

In her younger years, Pia traveled the tennis circuit just as the ATP tour, and later the WTA tour, was being established.  She was the Danish national singles tennis champion for 10 straight years and has seen and experienced all of Europe and most of the world while representing Denmark on the court.

 

As a top athlete Pia developed her own way of eating and preparing food.  She continued to develop her special methods of cooking with extra virgin olive oil and wine, and in the last five years has perfected and shared this way of cooking with clients as an accomplished restaurateur in Carefree, Arizona.

 

In this book you will find some of the most popular recipes from her Mediterranean-inspired dishes that she and other athletes have enjoyed through the years.
