The Actor's Diet

Lily Diamond is also known as Kale & Caramel.  In the last year, we've become fast friends, and I'm always in awe of her - so I had to have her on the podcast.

Her beauty recipes, hydrosols, and why she keeps a jar of raw honey in her bathroom. This article in the Washington Post and Great Grains Love for Bob's Red Mill. College life: Dramaturgy/Experimental Theater, CousCous Concoctions, and how Alice Waters changed the food game at Yale. This Vegan Gingersnap Chocolate Cream Pie - which is insanity - we ate it in parfait form.  It's heaven. Theme music is by Podcast Guest Goh Nakamura.
