Food and film lovers! Superstar Juliette Binoche joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her new film, “The Taste of Things,” which The Guardian called “the most rapturous hymn to culinary art” since “Babette’s Feast” and “Eat Drink Man Woman.” Learn why Juliette wanted to work with Tran Anh Hung, who won best director for the movie at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival; what it was like starring with her former partner, Benoît Magimel; and how she prepared for all the cooking scenes with the help of chefs Pierre Gagnaire and Michel Nave. 

In the second half of the show, sisters Janett and Erika Liriano join Kerry to talk about their very modern chocolate company, INARU, which they are building literally bean by bean. Learn why they pivoted from tech to chocolate, how they are working with farmers and producers in the Dominican Republic, how they are growing with both profit and people in mind, and how they’ve navigated the complicated world of fundraising.
