Livvin for Food with Olivia Bria Olivia Bria

Hi everyone! I’m bringing it back to my lineup of incredible new cookbooks with Edy Massih. Edy’s first and latest book, Keep It Zesty, focuses on Lebanese flavors inspired by his culture with a fun modern twist. He’s the owner of Edy’s Grocer in New York—but before that, he built his career as a chef and caterer. We chatted about what it was like to be in the kitchen as a gay man, his female idols (one of the most important being, Oprah, who yes, he did end up posting a picture with, but it'll make sense once you get there), and much more.

I have a very fun one for you in the next cookbook launch of the month—my convo with Dan Churchill, who just released his newest book, Eat Like a Legend. Dan is a chef, athlete, and performance coach—you may have seen him on TikTok as “The Healthy Chef” or as a contestant on Masterchef Australia Season 5. He’s been known to work alongside some pretty well-known names, such as Olympian Lindsey Vonn or Chris Hemsworth for preparation of his role in Marvel's, Thor. Our conversation spans from healthy dessert alternatives to his love for cashews!
