Eva Kosmas Flores grew up in Hillsboro, Oregon, where she worked alongside her parents at their family’s Greek deli. Although she was always passionate about cooking, she received formal training in film and photography from Loyola Marymount University, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2009. She began her blog, Adventures in Cooking (www.adventuresincooking.com), that same year, and her affection for food and photography has grown continuously since then. Eva has received formal baking training from King Arthur Flour and has contributed to several publications and websites, such as Chickpea magazine, Food52, Anthropologie, sisterMag, Crate & Barrel, Design Love Fest, West Elm’s Front + Main, The Green Gallery, and One Kings Lane. She currently resides in northeast Portland with her husband, Jeremy, two dogs, a cat, and eight chickens. When not digging out in her garden or making a mess in her kitchen, she can be found with her nose buried in a good food history book. She has a soft spot for stinky cheese, her beagle’s muzzle, kneading dough, and Thomas Jefferson.
