Bestselling Cookbook Author Adeena Sussman on Hard Work, Creating Opportunity & Being Kind

Adeena Sussman has had a pretty intense five years: co-authoring two bestselling cookbooks with Chrissy Teigen, getting married and moving to Tel Aviv, and writing her first solo (and wildly successful) cookbook, Sababa, named a Best Fall 2019 Cookbook by the New York Times, Bon Appétit, and Food & Wine. But finding her lane - and success - didn't come overnight. It came out of a winding path, trial and error, odd jobs, and eventually co-authoring over a dozen cookbooks. While working on her next book, Shabbat, Adeena opened up about her orthodox upbringing; how almost burning down a famous author's apartment ended up being a blessing in disguise; coming to realize something she loved could be an actual job, and being open to try new things - always.
