A couple years ago, I started following Eden Grinshpan (@edeneats) on instagram. She’s a Canadian celebrity chef with Israeli heritage. I found her because of her posts about being a new mom, but I was quickly entertained by her charisma and, in particular, by her food posts. Her documentation of the food she cooks both professionally and in her daily life made my mouth water. She makes Mediterranean and middle eastern food that is not fussy or too complicated. She is friends and colleagues with many other chefs. She posted some recipes created by her friends, cracked coriander chicken, and smashed potatoes with a caper-horseradish-dill sauce, and they quickly became regular staples in my rotation. Coriander and dill are some flavours I could never get sick of.

Not only does she create inspiring food, but her posts about her life in NYC are very fun and energetic. As a mom of young kids myself, her honesty and anecdotes about parenting are the content I need.
