Sharing Cuisine and Culture
from Around the World…
Shannon is an earnest traveler with the heart of a chef, exploring the world for flavors and stories she can bring home to share with others.
Shannon has traveled to over 50 countries where she often cooks in the kitchens of local chefs and home cooks, learning about the ingredients, recipes, and stories that shape their lives.

THE HIDDEN TABLE
Embark on a culinary adventure as I share stories and recipes from my many travels around the globe based around different locales and their people, food, and history. I’ve always thought of the dining table as a powerful communal space that provides a shared experience for the diverse threads of culture to interweave. This cookbook is a collection of my experiences around some of the most obscure yet memorable tables I’ve discovered during my travels and the unique people that made them so special.
