Ciao! I’m Dana.

I’m the person behind For Carbs’ Sake, which celebrates mainly Italian and Italian-American recipes—the kind that have been part of my life since my Long Island childhood. Many of them are carb-centric (because who doesn’t love carbs?), but you’ll find lighter dishes, too.

I’m excited to share them with you as well as a few other creations, including Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. So, come join me, and let’s get cooking!
