Helen Corey
Helen Corey (born October 9, 1923)[1] is a Syrian-American cookbook author, television producer, and educator. She was the first Syrian-American woman to hold elected office in Indiana. Her books, including the bestseller entitled The Art of Syrian Cookery (1962) and Helen Corey's Food from Biblical Lands (1989), popularized Levantine Arab cuisine among U.S. audiences. Corey stressed the biblical origins of Middle Eastern cuisine, embraced food as a vehicle for cross-cultural and inter-faith dialogue, and promoted awareness of Eastern Christianity in the United States, by discussing her family's culture in the Antiochian Orthodox Church.[2][3] She was a pioneer in the development of culinary diplomacy.
