Aisha Karefa-Smart interviews Ebeth is an African-American, single mom who loves food and was born to teach. Her passion and interest in food began as a young child with her easy-bake oven and continued as she chose to watch Yen Can Cook and Julia Child instead of the Smurfs on Saturday mornings. As an adult she developed her passion into an expertise through formal education at NYU, The Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts and Cornell University. Ebeth has ten years’ experience as a food and wellness educator teaching children, teens and families how to cook and to eat for improved health and vitality.
