Dr. Lieberman’s path to becoming a medical doctor was not a traditional one. He was a Political Science major at Yale University, where he also started sharing his love of cooking on a public-access television show called “Campus Cuisine.” The show featured sophisticated, yet accessible cooking designed to inspire college students. The New York Times featured the show on the cover of the In Dining section, and that was the beginning of a successful run as a television cooking show host on Food Network and New York Times bestselling author.
“Good Deal with Dave Lieberman” premiered on Food Network in the United States and Canada in April 2005 focusing on affordable gourmet-quality recipes. In 2006, he launched a web-exclusive series with Food Network called “Eat This with Dave Lieberman,” where he visited various cities, uncovering trends and crazes in cuisine.
While he was making his mark on television, he was also writing cookbooks. Dr. Lieberman's first book, “Young & Hungry,” was published in 2005. He followed that up in 2006 with a second, titled “Dave's Dinners: A Fresh Approach to Home-Cooked Meals.”
In 2009, Dr. Lieberman worked with a New York Times health reporter to publish, “The 10 Things You Need to Eat,” which made The New York Times bestseller list that year. The book revolves around ingredients that have scientific evidence supporting their health benefits, and it was this project that started him down his journey to becoming a physician.
