Atlanta, GA [June 16, 2010] — Bren Herrera, creator of FlaboyantEats.com, proudly announces today the latest expansions of her culinary empire, through recent collaborations with Latina.com and Dean and Deluca’s ‘Gourmet Food Blog,’ as well as Share Our Strength’s ‘Operation Frontline’ Program.

The online home of Latina magazine, Latina.com prides itself on being “the leading online destination for acculturated Latinas on the web, providing interactive forums, useful and interesting tools, unique content and a vibrant community that Latinas simply will not find anywhere else.”

Having made its debut on Cinco de Mayo, “Flanboyant Eats with Bren,” became Latina.com’s first-ever weekly food column. Each Tuesday, Herrera shares her favorite recipes and cooking tips, as well her best how-to tips and foolproof strategies for easy entertaining, Latina-style.  Happily, Herrera’s column has enjoyed a warm reception from the hundreds of thousands of individuals who visit the website every month, further solidifying Herrera as a preeminent voice for food-loving Latinas of her generation.

Dean & Deluca’s Gourmet Food Blog

Having won its Spring Recipe Contest back in March 2010, Herrera now proudly serves as a contributing blogger on Dean & Deluca’s Gourmet Food Blog, found online at TheGourmetFoodBlog.DeanandDeluca.com.

Share Our Strength’s ‘Operation Frontline,’ Program

Finally, Herrera continues her work to combat hunger by expanded her commitment to Share Our Strength, an organization working to end childhood hunger in America. She now serves as a Volunteer Chef for the charity’s ‘Operation Frontline,’ program, teaching cooking classes to low-income Latinos living in Atlanta. Throughout the course of each 6-week session, Herrera assesses the dietary needs of her students, then teaches them how to plan, shop for and cook delicious, healthy meals at home.
