I’m Claudia Hanna, the creator and host of If This Food Could Talk: History for Everyone Who Eats. By blending my love for Mediterranean culture and food with a dash of curiosity, I bring the delicious stories of our culinary past to life.

Once a finance professional in power suits, I traded the corporate grind for beach sarongs and flip-flops on the sunny shores of Cyprus. There, I discovered the true art of Mediterranean living. Inspired by my Egyptian-Greek roots and my Cypriot family, I began exploring flavor profiles and cultural traditions that fuel my passion for cooking, teaching, and storytelling. As the founder of Athena’s Bump, a maternal nutrition company, I helped empower expectant families with personalized nutrition plans.
