A certain toddler I know enjoys food like nothing I’ve seen before. Give him a cupcake and he’ll hold it, look at it and really take it all in before his first bite. Then he’ll discuss how delicious said cupcake is. As I wolfed down a spicy-chicken sandwich in the drive-thru lane today, I thought about that little boy, and I was touched by some inspiration. Let’s put the fun and fascination back into our meals. Schedule one leisurely meal—think Sundays at Granny’s house—and choose a recipe, follow each step, have guests set the table, and nibble and chat at your own enjoyable pace.

It's their annual visit with us, and they're here to tell us all about the expanded Cherry Bombe Jubilee. We're then visited by Shane Conerty, aka Color Collage, a project that was initially based on sampling mp3's of brand new indie music that Conerty found on blogs and making unique, original remixes of them.

Dianna Daoheung was raised in a typical, first­-generation Laotian­-Thai­-American household, meaning she was often “forced” to prep and help cook as her mother prepared authentic Southeast Asian foods. Not surprisingly, this is where Dianna gained her initial skills, knowledge, and love of cooking. After graduating from the University of Central Florida in social behaviors and business management, Dianna moved to New York to pursue a career in advertising. After four years, she decided to follow her instincts back to the kitchen. She studied at the French Culinary Institute in Pastry Arts, eventually finding her way to Mile End in Brooklyn to learn as a lead line cook. Next, Dianna headed to San Francisco to work in pastry at Boulevard. She eventually moved back to assist Mile End in developing their bread program. Waylaid by Hurricane Sandy, the bread program got put on hold, with Dianna biding her time as a sous chef at Brooklyn’s Isa. When an idea born in the aftermath of Sandy became Black Seed Bagels, Dianna—enamored with the science of bread—was tapped to perfect the process behind the now wildly successful Montreal bagel in New York.

Yvette Leeper­-Bueno owns Vinatería, the charming Harlem neighborhood restaurant and wine bar. A lifelong New Yorker, Yvette maintains longstanding roots in Harlem­­from her parents first meeting on 122nd Street in the 50s, to the renovated townhouse on 112th Street she has shared with her husband and sons for 12 years. Before opening Vinatería in early 2013, Yvette owned a clothing design/manufacturing business and children’s clothing boutique, Leeper Kids. Eventually her entrepreneurial spirit, love for good food and fashion, and devotion to the Harlem community led her to open Vinatería on its up­-and­-coming strip of Frederick Douglass Boulevard. Vinatería fosters a spirit of inclusivity through an accessible but extensive wine program, a thoughtful menu of Spanish­ and Italian-­influenced seasonal dishes, a convivial atmosphere, and contemporary design. Almost three years later, the neighborhood has seen a resurgence that some have compared to a second Harlem Renaissance, and Vinatería remains a pioneer in this transformation. From subtle details like the herbs lining the windowsills, to the art selected for the walls, Yvette aesthetic and attention to detail are clearly manifested throughout the space.

In the second half of the show, Darin welcomes musical guest, the indie pop duo Laura & Greg and gets the scoop behind how they met… over ice cream! Laura happens to be a co-founder and owner of Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream and elaborates on their fondness for vegan ice cream before delving into their songwriting process and their excitement over the upcoming release and tour over their first album. “Forever For Sure” comes out May 12, 2015!

There’s just been this outside focus on women having to be the chef and I think if you step back for a minute there are so many women doing interesting things.” [13:51] “One thing we’re definitely trying to do at Cherry Bombe is shine the spotlight on all the different women in this industry. You don’t have to be the chef to be making a contribution and an impact on this industry.” [14:17] —Kerry Diamond on Snacky Tunes “We just started doing chocolate and vanilla vegan ice cream and I was pretty excited when I came across a vegan so I dragged him [Greg] into the store and got him to try it and we got to talking about music and made a very loose plan to jam.” [41:19] —Laura O’Neill on Snacky Tunes

This week’s guests on Radio Cherry Bombe are Victoria Granof, Kerry Diamond & Claudia Wu. Today’s program was brought to you by The International Culinary Center. Victoria Granof Classically trained at the famed Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, Victoria Granof worked as a cooking instructor, chef, and pastry chef at restaurants in her hometown of Los Angeles before moving into photography. Victoria has been commissioned for editorial shoots and ad campaigns for clients ranging from Bon Appétit to Kraft, Nestle, Absolut, KitchenAid, and Clinique. She has worked with many of the photo world’s best-known image-makers, launching her career with a decade-long collaboration with the great Irving Penn and later teaming up with Kenji Tomo, Mitchell Feinberg, Hans Gissinger, and Steven Klein, among others. In addition to still images, her portfolio features video, including a number of short, striking motion pieces (a melting popsicle, a sizzling egg, a deconstructed still life) created with Craig Cutler for his “CC52” series of personal work. “I’m excited about things I’ve never seen before. If I see one more heirloom tomato on a rustic table I’m going to scream. Show me something that changes the way I see things.” [04:00] –Victoria Granof on Radio Cherry Bombe Kerry Diamond & Claudia Wu. Kerry Diamond and Claudia Wu are the co-founders of Cherry Bombe Magazine. Kerry is also the co-owner of Brooklyn eateries Wilma Jean and Nightingale 9, and the Carroll Gardens’ coffee shop Smith Canteen. Claudia has her own graphic design firm and sometimes publishes Me Magazine. Cherry Bombe is a beautifully designed biannual magazine that celebrates women and food—those who grow it, make it, serve it, style it, enjoy it and everything in between. It is about sustenance and style and things that nourish the mind, the eye and, of course, the stomach. Our readers, subjects and contributors are passionate about food, aesthetics and the world around them. Cherry Bombe is available at select bookstores, magazine shops and boutiques and by subscription. “I think a lot of journalists and subjects these days take for granted things can be changed any moment if things are incorrect in a story. In print, when it’s out – it’s done. There’s no changing information that’s already out there.” [33:00] –Kerry Diamond on Radio Cherry Bombe

Thanks to Cookies for today's music. “When you open a restaurant, people come out of the woodwork about you doing a cookbook.” [7:35] — Kerry Diamond on The Food Seen “We do like white space. A lot of magazines don't. They just try and cram as much onto the page as they can. Being 172 pages, we have that luxury of being white..” [36:45] — Claudia Wu on The Food Seen
