Today’s guest is cookbook author, recipe developer, Substack superstar, Cherry Bombe cover star, and mom of four Caroline Chambers. She joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about “Make It Fast,” the second book in her “What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking” series.

They chat about her wildly popular Substack (and how that platform’s evolving), her paper towel-free household (which includes four boys), her love of recipe feedback, how Ina taught her how to cook when she couldn’t afford culinary school, and her spirited mom, aka Crash.

Today’s guests are Chef Mehreen (Reenie) Karim and up-and-coming media mogul Alice Ma. The two join host Kerry Diamond to talk about “Picky Eaters,” the new social media food competition show hosted by Reenie and produced by Mad Realities, the modern media company co-founded by Alice.

They discuss the making of the show, how they snagged guests like Padma Lakshmi, Reenie’s experience on Gordon Ramsay’s “Next Level Chef,” and how Alice (and friends) almost bought a copy of the U.S. Constitution.

It’s Jubilee in July! This special series features conversations from our annual Cherry Bombe Jubilee, held this past April at The Glass House in New York City. 

Today, we’re sharing a Jubilee keynote conversation on the legacy of Edna Lewis, the legendary chef and author many regard as the godmother of American farm-to-table cooking. This year marks the 50th anniversary of her landmark book, “The Taste of Country Cooking,” which celebrates local ingredients, seasonality, and Southern traditions. 

Culinary historian and author Toni Tipton-Martin joins Edna’s niece Nina Williams-Mbengue for a conversation with Chef and podcaster Adrienne Cheatham. They are introduced by Chef Adé Carrena of iLéWA Foods.

Then, we’ll hear a solo talk from Mariana Velásquez, author of the cookbooks “Revel” and “Colombiana.” Mariana shares the deeply personal story of finishing “Revel” as her marriage ended, and how rewriting the book helped her rediscover her voice and the joy of gathering around the table.
