Cakes are in the midst of a makeover and Lucie Franc de Ferriere of From Lucie is one of the cake artists leading the charge. Her creations are topped with buttercream, festooned with flowers and herbs, and have a charming handmade quality to them. She just opened her first bakery, a tiny spot in the East Village, where she and her team make layer cakes, sheet cakes, brownies, cookies, and other confections, as well as custom cakes. 

Lucie joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her cakes, her career pivot, and her fascinating family (her British grandmother was arrested for being part of the French resistance when she was a teenager and she later went to Le Cordon Bleu; she’s 99!). 

Thank you to Kerrygold, Whole Foods Market, San Pellegrino, Cakebread Cellars, and Bouvet Ladubay for supporting our 10th annual Cherry Bombe Jubilee conference. Join the waiting list here.

Today’s guest is Nadia Caterina Munno, the glamorous Dolce & Gabbana-wearing gourmet known to millions of fans as The Pasta Queen. She’s built a following for her fashion-forward, high-energy recipe videos in which she shares the secrets to one classic Italian dish after another.

In this episode, host Kerry Diamond speaks with Nadia about the “blasphemous lasagna” recipe on TikTok that inspired her to share her own videos, her love for Marcella Hazan, the grandmother who inspired her entrepreneurial journey, and why she’s a fan of Martha Stewart. 

They also talk about Nadia’s new line of pasta sauces, her recipes and tips for pastina, gnocchi, and pasta al sugo, and her advice for c-suite executives (Nadia was in marketing and PR before becoming The Pasta Queen). 

Thank you to Johnnie Walker and Walmart for supporting our show.

Today’s guest is Chef Karla Hoyos, a long-time volunteer for World Central Kitchen and the founder of Tacotomia in Miami. The interview took place several weeks before the tragedy in Gaza in which seven of Karla’s World Central Kitchen colleagues were killed (if you’d like to contribute to the World Central Kitchen GoFundMe for the families of those killed, visit here).

Karla herself was in the region last year with the organization. Over the past several years, she has worked as part of World Central Kitchen’s disaster response teams in Bangladesh, Poland, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Spain, and beyond. 

At the same time, Karla was working to fulfill her dream of opening a spot in Miami that would pay homage to her Mexican upbringing. Last year, she opened Tacotomia in the Julia & Henry’s food hall and has used the opportunity to hire women and immigrants in need of work. Experience is great, she says, but not entirely necessary. Karla has three questions she asks her job candidates: “Are you a good person? Do you want to learn? Can I trust you?”

Stay tuned to learn about Karla’s roots in Mexico, how she became involved with World Central Kitchen, and what Tacotomia is all about.

Italians take snacking seriously. In the first part of today’s show, we’re talking about “spuntini”—Italian snacks—with chef and recipe developer Anna Francese Gass, author of the new cookbook, “Italian Snacking: Sweet and Savory Recipes for Every Hour of the Day.” Learn why the book is like a trip to Italy in book form, Anna’s Italian vacation tips, and why Italian street food is not eaten on the street. 

Next, we’re flashing back to Jubilee 2023 with an inspiring talk from Maya-Camille Broussard of the Chicago bakery Justice of the Pies and the Netflix series “Bake Squad.” 

Thank you to Johnnie Walker and to Walmart for supporting our Women’s History Month spotlight.

We have a special episode for you today featuring two all-star guests. First up is Von Diaz, an Emmy Award-winning radio producer, documentarian, and food historian. Her new narrative cookbook, “Islas: A Celebration of Tropical Cooking,” is a robust and joyous record of the flavors, techniques, and stories that make up the culinary culture of the islands spanning the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans. Von joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the process of writing her new book, stand-out recipes to make, and more. 

Later in the show, Chef Kristen Kish, the new host of “Top Chef,” chats with Kerry about the beloved competition show. Season 21 kicked off last week, and Kristen, who was the winner of “Top Chef” Season 10, talks about the perspective she brings to the gig and what it’s like telling chefs to “pack their knives and go.” 

Thank you to OpenTable, Johnnie Walker, and to Walmart for supporting our Women’s History Month spotlight.
