Faith Gorsky is the the writer, recipe developer, photographer, and food stylist behind www.AnEdibleMosaic.com. What she loves most about her job is the human connection that food sparks. It’s a commonality that we can all relate to; no matter who we are or where we’re from, breaking bread is our common tie.

Faith’s travels around the world have greatly influenced her cooking style; she loves sharing updated classic American as well as international favorite recipes on her website. Her first cookbook, An Edible Mosaic: Middle Eastern Fare with Extraordinary Flair, is a tribute to the significant amount of time she spent living in the Middle East, where she was able to fully immerse herself in the culture and cuisine. She’s never been immersed in a culture where food is simultaneously an abundance of love, art, common ground, and human connection as much as she was during her time in the Middle East.

Food plays a tremendous role in our daily lives. In its basic form, food nourishes us, sustains us, and fuels us; it’s what keeps our minds focused and attentive and our bodies running smoothly. But food is so much more than that. Food is how we celebrate (birthday cake), how we spend time with our families and friends (Sunday suppers), and how we express our culture and traditions (what would Thanksgiving be without turkey or Ramadan be without lentil soup?). Faith's recipes are a true celebration of food itself.
