Thanks so much for all the enthusiastic feedback on my podcast! I am blown away by the guests I have on each week, and I am personally changed by the conversations and inspirations they offer.

The benefit of Mediterranean-style eating is not just about the food itself, it’s about a healthy approach to food, and sharing meals is central to that way of life. Suzy Karadsheh, author of The New York Times best-selling cookbook The Mediterranean Dish, and founder of the #1 ranked website TheMediterraneanDish.com, explains why sharing is so important to the Mediterranean lifestyle, and why it is such a healthful thing to do. She offers tantalizing, easy ideas for shared plates, and she and Ellie talk about why they’d rather share meals than entertain guests.
There are so many ways to build flavor into food healthfully, and there’s nobody better than Nik Sharma to explain how to do it. He is a two-time James Beard finalist and IACP winner, writer, photographer, and recipe developer behind A Brown Table, an award-winning blog.

He worked as a pastry chef in California and later become the food columnist at the San Francisco Chronicle.

Listen as he explains how flavor encompasses more than you might realize, and shares his tricks for truly delicious, healthy dishes.
