80. Leyla Moushabeck — Editor of "The Immigrant Cookbook"
As editor of "The Immigrant Cookbook: Recipes that Make the World Great," Moushabeck compiled recipes from 75 immigrant chefs. Intended as "a culinary celebration of the many ethnic groups that contribute to a vibrant food culture," the book was published in 2018, a time when life as an immigrant in the US certainly wasn't easy.
"The Immigrant Cookbook" has been praised by an array of top chefs, including the late Anthony Bourdain, who described it as "a powerful, important, and delicious cookbook which everyone should own." Moushabeck, the daughter of Palestinian and British immigrants, is a long-time cookbook editor at an independent publishing house in New York and lives with her Colombian husband and their son in Brooklyn, New York.
