If I could, I would be on the Mediterranean coast with salty air and surrounded by all the olives, mint, hummus, and local flavors one could imagine at any given time! My whole life I have savored (and craved) Middle Eastern flavors and am always looking for new dishes to try and more ways to incorporate them into my everyday life. Like many cuisines, I find that we generally have a limited scope of what’s available. Often sticking to hummus and a traditional greek salad, there are so many dishes awaiting the everyday chef (that will leave their taste buds never the same!) I recently came to know and love Eden Grinshpan, Host of the Cooking Channel Show, Eden Eats, and author of the new cookbook, Eating Out Loud. Born to a family of rich culture and a love of food, her approach to cooking is one that will add fresh inspiration and spice to every kitchen! Eden will guide us through with humor and decadence:

How to introduce new foods to kids and help them to become well rounded eaters.
What traveling around the world taught her about food culture.
Food terms, types, and ingredients used in Middle Eastern cuisine that we should all know.
What dishes are must-try if you’re looking for more options and to expand your palate.
How she approached the design of her home, and her tips as you embrace your own home design process.

Eden is a ray of sunshine and has a unique and refreshing view of food culture that I know will leave you running to the kitchen!
