I could listen to her read the phone book and still be entertained...love her voice

Finding that these videos make me feel relaxed. Thanks

After watching the craziness of all those Food Network and Bon Apetit videos, it's nice to watch something that's more about the good food rather than the larger-than-life personalities of the hosts. This is the kind of relaxing food video I want!

The music accompanying your presentation is not annoying, as I usually find them to be. It's very nice. The salad looks good, too, and you're not boring.

I worked with Nancy at Mozza and this is literally one of the best salads I've ever had in my life!! The dressing, the way ingredients are chopped, everything comes together in an extraordinary way! Everyone must try it. And i want to say Nancy is obsessed with texture and has an incredible palate so it is no exaggeration that she will work on something for years and years.

Watching you is like going to yoga...very therapeutic. Don't change. And this salad is the bomb, I've made it and it is always a hit.

Looks very definitely try.
I have been making a delish salad for years...cubed chicken, tomato, avocado and water chestnuts in a basic vinaigrette, served on a bed of watercress and topped with crumbled

The oregano, vinegar, and salami bite is making my mouth water...

That mixing bowl--I see that style of bowl everywhere in food styling. Is it a specific style or era? I know it's American...as I've seen this type bowl in vintage forms with the USA stamp. I'd love to know the name.

So healthy, at times it’s all I eat over weeks, different vegetables and also fruits, with chicken and fish as protein. Feel clears up, energy levels goes true the roof.

Great salad, thanks for the info. I always look forward to seeing your food prep, always terrific ideas!

[laurarenda]

Looks fabulous! I can't wait to try it! Thanks so much

[deborahmac]

Yes this is genius. You communicated it well.

[doodahgurlie]

Thanks for the salad recipe, it looks great! Please tell me where to get that glass measuring cup that held your oil in?

[carolyncampbell]

Where did you get the tall glass measuring cup? Thank you!

[frankmarcos]

That’s a lot of dressing using 1.5 cups of EVOO. Do you pour the entire batch into the mixture of salad ingredients?

[joylopez]

Beautiful salad!
Will respectfully omit the cheese and meat.

[dirtysanchez]

This is much like the chopped salad from Scala in Los Angeles ❤️

[Lulu-ktgr]

Did you use word press or wix for your website?

[cindyfrench]

Nancy you did a great job! Erase all the haters. You'd think they were hired to criticize you. Yuck....
