Mini bio

How it started.

Gina started Skinnytaste in 2008 while preparing for her wedding and looking for lighter versions of favorite meals. What began in her home kitchen became a recipe site built around everyday cooking.

Finding her audience.

Her first cookbook arrived in 2014. The recipe that Gina calls her most popular is her yogurt bagel, which she says went viral and inspired variations including pizza and garlic knots.

The food behind the recipes.

A self-taught home cook, Gina draws on a Czech father, Colombian mother and a family table shaped by several cuisines. Her books and site focus on meals home cooks can fit into daily life.
