Over the past five years Nida has written over 300 articles covering lifestyle, travel, culinary arts, culture and business for Israeli and Lithuanian newspapers and magazines, and has her own column in Lithuania's leading monthly lifestyle magazine. In 2014 Nida published her first cookbook, A Taste of Israel in Lithuanian and it reached the Top-10 seller list in that country.
"A Taste of Israel reads in part like a travel log, The author writes as a Lithuanian who is discovering Jewish cooking, comparing it to what she remembers from her own youth, sharing cherished recipes from grandmothers who cooked in Lithuania, as well as new discoveries incorporating unique exotic flavors. What makes A Taste of Israel particularly appealing is the author's openness to a culture, novel in many ways yet familiar at the same time."--DRAUGAS News
