Our Story
Your host, Lori Hinze, Speaker, Award-Winning Educator and Graduate of the International Culinary Center-NYC, connects people to all the good Israel is doing in Food, Wine, Agritech, Foodtech, peace initiatives through Culinary Arts and the spirituality of food and wine through speaking presentations and hosting small groups to Israel on Biblical Food & Wine Tours.
As an educator, speaker and culinary professional, it is my passion to shine a new light on this side of Israel where prophecy is edible and foodies experience heaven on earth!
Lori uses food and cooking to build bridges for peace and support for the Jewish people. I connect cultures, crosses barriers and bring people together, showcasing Israel through unique culinary experiences, sharing with the world, Israel’s booming Food & Wine industry.
I have had the privilege of cooking alongside some of the nation’s most notable chefs: Los Angeles’ Govind Armstrong, Philadelphia’s Georges Pierre, Kendall Jackson’s Justin Wrangler; New York City’s Matt Hughes and many others. Lori has enjoyed being featured at the Austin and Houston Home & Garden Shows, Becker Vineyard’s Lavender Festival, the Austin Farmer’s Markets, as well as featured in the Austin American Statesman, Edible Austin notable mentions and MyFox Austin, KXAN and Fox26 Houston morning cooking segments.
Lori is also the Founder and Executive Director of CookLearnGrow, a kid’s cooking and food literacy school. She is a member of Les Dames Escoffier, Women Chefs & Restaurateurs and IACP.
