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!
