Hope Cohen is a woman whose passion turned into a career and a full-blown educational experience.

Loving food and creating dishes and experiences don’t always come together for most but for Hope, it sure did. She’s a Philly native, a mom, a home chef, an author, a TV host, a recipe developer, a traveler, and a pretty great lady to talk to!

This week, I chat with Hope about the path that has led her to live a life travelling and tasting food, hosting a long-running cable series that highlighted some of the country’s greatest chefs and culinarians, her book, her hobbies, and her new ideas that will continue to feed her belly and her brain with a constant source of food borne knowledge!
