We have a special episode for you today—it’s Stanley Tucci in conversation with guest host Chef Missy Robbins. Stanley was in town to celebrate the launch of TUCCI by Greenpan, his new cookware collection. And who better to chat with him than Missy, the chef and co-owner behind the popular Italian restaurants Lilia and Misi, and the brand new Misipasta, an aperitivo bar and pasta shop in one. (All are located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.)

The two talk pasta, pots and pans, family, favorite restaurants, and their love for all things Italian food. Don’t miss Missy and Stanley.

Giada Live At SXSW: Trust Your Gut

“Focus on the big picture,” says Valerie Chang, the chef and owner of Maty’s, a 150-seat Peruvian spot in Miami. For her, that means more than awards (like her recent James Beard nomination) and the future of her restaurant. It translates to taking care of her mental and physical well-being and implementing a new kind of hospitality that’s focused on service not servitude. 

Valerie sat down with host Kerry Diamond in Miami to talk about her career and her family’s restaurant group (which includes B-Side and her brother’s soon-to-open Peruvian-Japanese spot, Itamae Ao). Valerie also shares what she’s learned in therapy, her thoughts on being a boss, and Maty’s menu highlights, including a twist on the traditional Oxtail Saltado and, for dessert, nostalgic sweet potato butternut squash doughnuts known as Picarones.

Best-selling author and former Gourmet Magazine editor-in-chief Ruth Reichl is our guest on today’s episode. Ruth joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her latest book, “The Paris Novel,” a tale of self-discovery set in 1983 and filled with food, fashion, and art. Ruth shares the real-life inspiration behind some of the people, places, and meals, and talks about her writing process. “I took a long time writing this because I didn’t want to let go of the characters,” she says. 

Ruth, who has a Substack and a podcast today, also shares her take on food media, dishes out some career advice, and discusses whether her books will ever be adapted for movies or streaming.

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).

The Pasta Queen, Nadia Caterina Munno, Holds Court

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.
