Email Testimonials about Harlot's Sauce:
“An inspiring and uplifting story of women’s empowerment.”
“proof-positive that by helping others we help ourselves.”
“a vivid and accurate portrayal of the history and society of Greece and Cyprus.”
“a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek description of ‘first-generation’ Americans.”
“Teachers, historians, romantics, travellers, and even chefs, will love it.”
“A must-read if you’ve ever dreamed of living abroad. Great recipes, too!”
“The writer’s skewers both the Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox churches and then serves them up like Greek souvlaki for us to enjoy.”
“If we could all laugh at our convictions the way the Davis laughs at hers, the world would be a safer and happier place."
"I have this huge grin on my face right now. The kind of grin that you get when you remember something funny from your past. The food and the religion had me rolling. I love the “Revelation Delegation” that took some creative thinking. The part where your grandmother says “If I live, I will go see my sister in Italy,” made me immediately think of my own grandmother. This was hilarious. You write well, bless your heart, toof, toof, toof..."

"I thank you so very much for all this information about Ellas and Hellenes, as well as Turkey and the relationship / politics / history between the two countries - past and present. Very much appreciate. I forwarded your email to a Greek neighbor and friend of mine, (Paul Andronico) who is a lawyer, and has been to Greece a number of times, (his father lives there about half the year) but is really not a student of Greece.
Thanks again, Patricia."

And I would love every single minute of it! You kept my attention even in the middle of a heat wave. I looked carefully and you mention "ME" .... I feel honored to be on your page."
----Breacis Rodriguez, former student, schoolteacher
"Marc Weissbluth’s book saved my sanity. I was so tickled to find him in your story….But more importantly, your advice to women about their mothers-in-law– possibly more valuable than Weissbluth!"

"Oh Patricia, what a fantastic item you have laid out before us. All credit to you for believing and taking such a positive attitude. Visualisation is so important to where one wants to get to in life. From someone who loves both Poker and Harry Potter."
