Melissa Ben-Ishay in Conversation with Katie Lee Biegel: Come Eat

Melissa Ben-Ishay – queen of the bite-size cupcake with the supersize following – has earned our love not only with treats, but with her philosophy: eat nutritious meals every day, and you can enjoy dessert every day too. The New York Times-bestselling author and Baked by Melissa co-founder and CEO joins us to talk about her new book, Come Eat: 100 Nourishing Recipes to Eat Every Day. She shares tips for making the flavor-packed, low-effort, go-to recipes in her book, including riffs on the creative salads that have become her hallmark and earned her more than 4 million fans across social media. And she reflects on what drives her approach to food and life, and the importance of food in bringing people together – one perfect bite at a time.
