Ethel Greenwald Hofman (born 1939) is a widely syndicated Jewish American food and travel columnist, author and culinary consultant.

==Early life==
Hofman was born in Glasgow, Scotland, one of three children to Jean and Harry Greenwald. In 1914, when her father, grandfather and paternal uncles left Russia, they thought they were going to America. They wound up in Lerwick in Scotland’s Shetland Islands, over 300 miles from the closest Jewish community.〔Ethel G. Hofman, ''Mackerel at Midnight'', Philadelphia: Camino Books, 2005, chapter 2.〕 In 1935, her father married Jean Segal, who had grown up in Scotland. Ethel’s parents moved back to Lerwick when she was six weeks old. There they became small shopkeepers, with their variety store selling everything “from candy to condoms.”〔''Mackerel at Midnight'', p. 43.〕 Even though the Greenwalds constituted the Jewish population of the island, the family maintained a strong Jewish identity.〔Louise Fiszer, (“Scottish Jewish memoir a cultural and culinary delight,” ) ''JWeekly'', May 20, 2005.〕 Jean Segal Greenwald had been brought up in an Orthodox Jewish household, could read Hebrew, and spoke Yiddish with her husband.〔Ethel G. Hofman, “A Shetland Island Passover,” ''Jewish Exponent'', March 18, 1999.〕 During World War II, from 1941–45, Jean Greenwald annually organized Passover seders for British troops. The first was conducted by Sir Israel Brodie, who went on to become Chief Rabbi of Great Britain.〔''Mackerel at Midnight'', pp. 132-33.〕
Following her graduation from Glasgow College of Domestic Science in 1959, Hofman moved to Chicago to live with an aunt.〔Ethel G. Hofman, (“A Remarkable Journey,” ) Glasgow Caledonian University Alumni and Friends. Accessed July 22, 2012.〕 She took a one-year dietetic internship at the University of Chicago, and then served for three-and-a-half years as Chief Administrative Dietitian at Michael Reese Hospital, where she met her husband. After moving for two years to Basel, Switzerland, and then to Boston (where she was a nutritionist at the Harvard School of Public Health under Professor Jean Mayer), she settled with her family in Philadelphia.〔Dianna Marder, ("Princely repast: A Merion epicurean plans high tea," ) ''Philadelphia Inquirer'', April 28, 2011.〕
Hofman's husband, Dr. Walter I. Hofman, is a forensic pathologist who was elected coroner in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.〔Dr. Hofman was elected coroner in 2007 (Bryan Schwartzman, “New Coroner Plans to Shake It Up,” ''Jewish Exponent'', January 31, 2008, p. 18) and re-elected in 2011 (Carl Hessler Jr., ("Election 2011: Behr victorious in sheriff's race," ) ''The Times Herald'' of Montgomery County, PA, November 9, 2011).〕 The couple has two children.〔
