Laurie Troiani

c Troiani is a native Oregonian–lover of nature, skiing, hiking, camping, and food gatherings with her friends and family. Laurie learned to cook and appreciate great food from her Greek mother who regularly made simple, close-to-the-earth yet delicious Mediterranean dishes like dolmas, avgolemono soup, and moussaka. She even made hummus, fresh pocket bread and strained her own Greek yogurt back in the ’70s, traditions she carries with her today. A meal of small bites, where so many different flavors and textures can be enjoyed in one sitting, is her go-to.
