About Valentina Cirasola
Valentina Cirasola was born in Bari, the main city of Puglia, Italy, to a family of artists, designers, and food connoisseurs. She followed her mom's footsteps and became a fashion/interior designer. She expresses her creativity in the homes she designs and decorates for her clients. She is often called "The Colorist" for a reason, she vibrates people's world with her love for colors, which prompted her to write a book on this subject, title:
©RED - A Voyage Into Colors, First and Second Edition.
With this book, she delves into how to see colors, how to manipulate colors to one's advantage, and how-to live-in colors. The book touches on interior styles, fashion, food, entertainment, and much more, it feels like a real voyage.
Her life in Bari as a young woman was restless and full of ambitions. Her curiosity about what was behind the horizon of the Adriatic Sea took her to explore the world and ended up living in America, where she opened her design company and became a TV producer with her own label: ©Valentina Design Universe.
Valentina today talks often about Puglia to her foreign audience and encourages everyone to visit Puglia, to experience a wheel of unknown emotions of a simpler life where time is important but not that relevant and where family, friends take precedence.
Valentina goes to Italy! As a cultural promoter of Puglia, she encourages friends and curious travelers to visit her homeland and delves into the rich history, beautiful architecture, she wants people to discover hidden corners and to experience healthy, colorful food they have never heard before. Her loved Puglia has remained in her heart, in her traditions, in her daily rituals, and her strong values, the reason why she wrote the fourth book:
©The Road To Top Of The World - Short Stories In The Land Of Puglia.
Valentina's latest addition to her book collection is ©Naked Lemons, a short book all about lemons and yellow energy.
Valentina calls herself "a good fork" and likes to eat real food, from which she draws her positive energy. For the love of her native land, she wrote two cookery books on Puglia cuisine with stories of her youth that happened in various kitchens of family, friends, and people she knew.
Growing up, Valentina was only allowed to watch the cooking happening in her family, but not to practice it! She did not get the opportunity to cook until she moved away and started to cook for herself out of necessity. Then, as if by a miracle, all those years watching, eating, and tasting translated to doing. She recalled the perfection of how every dish was supposed to look and taste. Watching her family and eating good food every day, gave her the expertise and knowledge of a professional chef.
Her first book ©Come Mia Nonna - A Return To Simplicity, is for people who have never cooked and those who don't have much time to cook. This book proves that anyone can put together an excellent and healthy meal in thirty minutes without spending a load of money.
Her second book ©Sins Of A Queen features appetizers and sweets from her native region of Puglia, mostly made from fruit and not loaded with processed sugar. The appetizers are delightful morsels, which can be turned also into meals.

Design Nature For A Colorful Home
Nov 9, 2020
$5.99
If you pick up a camera and take a picture of anything that strikes your eyes, it doesn't have to be a real object, or something with a meaning, just study that picture, and you will see the reason why you immortalized that "something".One day, I took a photo of a succulent plant in my garden, not because it was particularly beautiful, but because I was attracted by the yellow decorative butterfly light inside the pot and by the yellow ceramic piece outside the pot.This told me I was craving "Yellow Vibrations". Going to the grocery shop, taking pictures of the flower bouquets in the store, and forgetting to buy food is not a common thing people do, but I did. Later, all those pictures of flowers gave me the idea for this book. My goal was to entice the readers to look at flower bouquets, or any flower composition in nature with new eyes and lead them to create their own alluring color scheme for any room in the house or office that carries a new excitement.The book is full of beautiful photographs taken by me in various places in nature and in the stores. Nature is our best friend and companion, she always gives us the pleasure of beauty, harmony, and peace. This book focuses on how to take advantage of nature’s colors and turn them into doable solutions. The home has a spirit that will love you if you create an inspiring, healthy, vibrant home for the body, mind, and spirit. Everyone will feel comfortable in a home conceived with harmony and love will grow.Shall we start with the colors of flowers?

This book is a travel narrative of one trip To Puglia I organized with American friends and curious travelers willing to explore, learn, experience, taste and dream in a land they had never visited before and in a language totally foreign to them. A wheel of new emotions opened up before their eyes, they tried food didn’t even know existed, learned to cook in ancient kitchens; they learned to appreciate the nightlife, learned to live without phones, watches and technologies; copied Italian fashion, learned about traditions, rituals, country and folk celebrations; they all tried to learn local dialects and some succeeded well. Their perspective to life was forever changed.

RED - A Voyage Into Colors: Second Edition
Oct 28, 2019
$9.99
From the dawn of time, every race and population have attributed various meanings and symbolism to colors. This book talks about colors, how humans can benefit from using them, how our health, spirit, and state of mind can improve by using all colors without distinction. The book teaches how to create and mix colors as a study for people who have an interest in becoming artists and are just starting. Also, the book delves into understanding colors from a spiritual point of view and how to use them, in a technical way, for interiors, fashion, food, entertainment and much more. It is so important when mixing colors to look at nature as our best teacher, where all colors are mixed together and co-exist well without rules and prejudices. We can simply copy nature and feel perfect in our choice of colors.
Naked Lemons
Jul 15, 2019
$4.99
Limoncello is a yellow drink, traditional of the Italian Amalfi Coast. It is a cordial fragrant drink, sweet to the right point, spirited but not too much, extracted from lemons, that brings people together and makes them happy. Limoncello has a dual function, it can be served with appetizers as an aperitif or a spritz, and it can be served as a digestive after-dinner drink. That's the reason Limoncello is a popular drink among party goers. In this booklet, I give suggestions on how to turn all the lemons without the skin, used to make Limoncello, into different products for your daily beauty and for your daily house cleaning. The people who have tried my suggestions and my Limoncello are happy people.
