Happy New Year!!! Welcome to 2025, and thanks for listening to our first podcast of the year, we appreciate you being here! I know that there are folks out there that are kicking off the year with a dry January, and we wish you all the success... However, here at the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas, we toast to the New Year with Sassafras Springs Vineyard and Winery... we'll talk with them in a minute. But first- Food News! Wanted to start with the Yankabilly Smokehouse- the former food truck at the Boardwalk in Springdale is now open inside Mothership on Emma. They've been up and going for 3 weeks and co-owner Aaron Kemper told me that they have some big plans for the spring, and it might involve their outdoor stage. 2025 will also be bringing some new restaurants and concepts to our area, and there are plenty that we're excited about: We kick it off with the Handshake coming to South College in Fayetteville. It's one of the 2 concepts coming from the Conifer team this year.. Former Conifer GM Hope Ray is a Fayetteville native and will be at the helm for this one. Just like Conifer, the menu will be gluten-free and have a heavy emphasis on being locally sourced. It will also have a market with locally sourced meat, veggies and more. The building is taking on a significant remodel, so it will take some time. The other concept from Conifer was announced a month ago, RYN. It'll be in Bentonville, and will be a farm-to-table tasting menu restaurant in a renovated farmhouse right next to their farm. They also plan to have events on their surrounding land. Yeyo's Executive Chef and Owner Rafael Rios got busier in 2024 as he became part-owner in downtown Springdale's Bauhaus Biergarten... He'll get even busier this year, as he'll be opening Casa Magnolia directly across Allen Street from Bauhaus. According to their website, outside of the café, they'll have a Two Friends Community Book kiosk, art, coffee, clubs, ice cream and more... We'll let you know when we hear about a grand opening date. Bentonville Chinese Restaurant Wu Zhao is projected to open later this month. It'll be owned by Blu Fresh Fish Marketplace's Barry Furuseth, Vincent Yao Lim, who's executive chef and known as the Wolf of WOK Street in Australia with millions of social media followers, and former champion of Netflix's Zumbo's Just Desserts, Catherine Zhang. We talked with them on November 13th, if you want to hear that episode. They'll be opening next door to Mezzaluna in downtown Bentonville. Sadly, yesterday was the final day of service for Mermaids in their current location in Fayetteville. I did receive confirmation yesterday that they're still targeting April for their opening date at their new location... still no confirmation yet on the location but will let you know once it's set. Sassafras Springs Vineyard and Winery is many things... a winery, a wedding venue, a retail space, a restaurant, a place to stay and more, but it certainly didn't start out that way. Co-owner Cheryl Long and GM Drew Gorton detail for us the journey to what it is today. They're mother and son of a family-run business, and that cast continues to grow. They have some wines that have won impressive awards in some of the biggest competitions in the US. How did they learn to make wine? You'll hear that story. Equally as important, how do they bottle it? They started off bottling by hand. It's been an evolution for sure, and they recently made a huge investment in it. Finally, we ask all of our guests what their last 24 hours was like- they had a great, albeit frazzling story! Listen wherever you listen to podcasts!

On this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, things will be a little different, as we're going to be talking to a chef from Australia that has, literally, millions of social media followers and is going to be part-owner of a restaurant opening here. More on that in a second.   But first, what a road it's been for the Mellow Moose Burger food truck of Siloam Springs! They won the Miracle League's Northwest Arkansas Burger Competition in September, giving them a Golden ticket to World Food Championships in Indianapolis. That happened this past weekend. We'll hear how it ended and hear from Adrian Lem of Mellow Moose Burgers.   Now onto some somber news. Smoke and Barrel in Fayetteville is now closed. They decided to sell to someone else and announced it on social media this past weekend. We'll hear from them.   If you're online and follow the top influencers in the Chinese food world, you've no doubt heard of Vincent Yeow Lim, or @DimSimLim, as his millions of social media followers know him. If you don't follow him, you might want to check out his TikTok or Instagram feeds to see what kind of food will be coming to our area. And oh, by the way, Catherine Zhang is one of his partners in this. She's a pastry chef that won Zumbo's Just Desserts on Netflix and was the youngest to do it. They'll be partnering with our guy Barry Furuseth of Blu in Bentonville. So, what is it? Where will this restaurant be? What's the meaning behind the name? Why did they decide on Northwest Arkansas and when will it open? So many questions and we'll get the answers next, right here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.

Join Adriano Zumbo as we discuss his path to becoming a celebrity pastry chef. Known as "The Sweet Assassin," Adriano has been a guest chef on over a dozen seasons of MasterChef Australia, a contestant on Dessert Masters, a judge on Netflix's reality series, Sugar Rush, and hosted Zumbo's Just Desserts, a competitive baking show. He has owned shops, written books, taught classes, and been a brand ambassador. He has recently created the menu for QTea, a high tea at the QT hotel in Sydney. Zumbo is known for his technically challenging desserts that often feature unique flavor fusions. Many consider him Australia's answer to Willy Wonka. In this episode Adriano Zumbo discusses some of his most iconic creations, the V-8 cake and Zumbarons. We discuss the importance of naming recipes and how nostalgia and experience can lead to inspiration and fun as you experiment in the kitchen. He shares insights into mental tasting and finding the balance between ingredients. Zumbo discusses the importance of accepting and learning from failure in order to keep growing. Throughout our conversation, he challenges us to be curious, to focus on gradual improvement, and to infuse our own personalities into our creations.

Adriano Zumbo is an Australian pâtissier and television presenter, who opened his first patisserie in 2007 before rising to prominence as a frequent guest on MasterChef. He is the host of the Australian baking competition program Zumbo's Just Desserts, and a judge on the Netflix web series Sugar Rush. It's fair to say that I didn't fully comprehend the work, skill, creativity and even science, that goes into making awesome sweets (cakes, pastries, biscuits, desserts, etc.), factoring in the myriad of taste, texture, presentation and ingredient variables. Coming from the bloke with the most boring and repetitive eating habits on the planet, this is no surprise. I learned a lot in this chat. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever wanted to be more rich? Have you considered just working a bit harder? Welcome to part III of our libertarian series, where we discuss Part B: Social Issues of Scott Alexander's Anti-Libertarian FAQ, which critiques the libertarian view that if you're rich, you deserve it, and if you're poor, well, you deserve that too. As always, the estimable Bruce Nielson (@bnielson) helps guide is through the thorny wicket of libertarian thought. We discuss Do the poor deserve to be poor? Waddabout the rich? Is dogmatism ever a good thing? Is social mobility determined in part by parental wealth? Is this due to genetics, culture, upbringing or something else? The chances of escaping the lower class Does government regulation increase social mobility? Why progressive taxation makes sense References David Friedman's response (http://www.daviddfriedman.com/Miscellaneous/My%20Response%20to%20a%20Non-Libertarian%20faq.html) Bruce's Theory Of Anything podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-theory-of-anything/id1503194218) Popperian/Deutschian FB group: Many Worlds of David Deutsch (https://www.facebook.com/groups/2188597894605769/) On dogmatism: Bruce's episode: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/four-strands/episodes/Episode-51-Was-Karl-Popper-Dogmatic-e1obs0m/a-a2hb64g Ben's blog post: https://benchugg.com/writing/dogmatism/ Vaden's blog posts on Libertarianism: First: Is Austrian Economics the Best Explanation of Economics? (https://vmasrani.github.io/blog/2023/aecr-challenge/) Second: Can we predict human behaviour? A discussion with Brett Hall (https://vmasrani.github.io/blog/2023/predicting-human-behaviour/) Quotes The Argument: Those who work hardest (and smartest) should get the most money. Not only should we not begrudge them that money, but we should thank them for the good they must have done for the world in order to satisfy so many consumers. People who do not work hard should not get as much money. If they want more money, they should work harder. Getting more money without working harder or smarter is unfair, and indicative of a false sense of entitlement. Unfortunately, modern liberal society has internalized the opposite principle: that those who work hardest are greedy people who must have stolen from those who work less hard, and that we should distrust them at until they give most of their ill-gotten gains away to others. The “progressive” taxation system as it currently exists serves this purpose. This way of thinking is not only morally wrong-headed, but economically catastrophic. Leaving wealth in the hands of the rich would “make the pie bigger”, allowing the extra wealth to “trickle down” to the poor naturally. The Counterargument: Hard work and intelligence are contributory factors to success, but depending on the way you phrase the question, you find you need other factors to explain between one-half and nine-tenths of the difference in success within the United States; within the world at large the numbers are much higher. If a poor person can't keep a job solely because she was lead-poisoned from birth until age 16, is it still fair to blame her for her failure? And is it still so unthinkable to take a little bit of money from everyone who was lucky enough to grow up in an area without lead poisoning, and use it to help her and detoxify her neighborhood?

Balancing two blogs, social media, and two dessert shops, using trends and viral videos to drive blog traffic, and winning a baking competition on Netflix with Catherine Zhang. ----- Welcome to episode 454 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Catherine Zhang.

Safe to say, she has had tremendous success as a creator over the last few years. In this podcast interview, Bjork and Catherine chat about her professional journey, how she balances her businesses, and the power of social media. It is a really fun and inspiring interview — Catherine is so intentional about everything she does for her businesses and will definitely leave you with a lot to think about.

How she first started creating content online. How she applied for (and won!) the Netflix baking show, and how it impacted her online presence. How she balances her blog, social media accounts, and dessert shops (Kurepu Crepes). How she manages and maintains her blog (which gets 350,000+ monthly pageviews). Why she decided to start a second food blog (Dimsimlim) with her business partner (and how they qualified for Raptive within one week). How she uses social media, trends, and viral videos to drive blog traffic. What she's learned about the process of building a team and running a brick-and-mortar business.

Are you looking for the best haunted forest for a refreshing yet terrifying adventure? We are here to help. Don't forget to pack something to protect you from evil. Taking a stroll through nature can be a much needed retreat from the never ending rat race of day to day life. It's been said that hiking in general keeps your mind sharp, boosts your mood, helps increase your creativity and cements a positive relationship with the natural world around you, among a slew of other benefits. However, as is the case with anything, there is a flip side to that coin as well. Yes, there are the obvious dangers that should be taken into account; attacks by wild life, getting lost, or even taking a wrong step and getting injured in a place with little to no cell service. But what if these places harbored more mystery than predators, and rough terrain alone? Countless deaths and mysterious disappearances take place in the deep woods, far outside the roaring streets of life in the city. Today we aim to shed some light on the mystery, peek behind the dense blanket of branch and leaf, put our ear to the ground and listen to the dark history of some of the worlds most haunted forests. ——— TIME STAMPS: What Lurks Beyond The Branch & Brush - 0:00 THEME MUSIC - 1:14 Christian Taunts Listeners w/ a Jaunty Tune - 2:11 WELCOME / SOCIALS / RATE REVIEW - 2:25 Christian Receives his Just Desserts - 4:38 Haunted Forest #1: Japan's Aokigahara Forest - 6:28 Haunted Forest #2: The Hoia Baciu of Romania - 21:52 Haunted Forest #3: The Killer Woods of Germany's Black Forest - 29:26 Haunted Forest #4: Freetown-Fall River State Forest is Horribly Named - 43:10 Haunted Forest #5: The Pine Barrens of New Jersey - 39:35 A Strategically Placed Walton's Reference - 45:23 One Last Thing - 46:16 ——— If you're enjoying the show, please take a second to leave us a 5-Star Review and consider sharing the show with your friends and family!

Subscribe to the Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/This episode features such an inspiring human. Calvin Eaton is a scholar, cookbook author, content creator and activist. He's the publisher of TheGlutenFreeChef blog as well as the founder of the non-profit 540WMain which is rooted in social justice and antiracism.Calvin shares his personal journey with his body, and how he's learned to honor his body in “radical grace and kindness,” as he says. He talks about the ways he's had to de-condition himself around body image, weight and food, and he shares tools that have helped him on his journey.Calvin also talks about his autoimmune conditions and how he uses food to support his well-being. He describes how, after years of prescribing to specific eating regimens and restrictions that would often result in stress, he's landed on a flexible style of intuitive eating and cooking.We also go into systems of oppression, such as racism, ableism, fatphobia and sexism, which not only try to separate us from our own bodies, from also from each other. Calvin reminds us that we are all so interconnected, not only to each other but also to the earth. Only by celebrating and honoring those connections, as well as by working together to dismantle systems of oppression and cultural conditioning, can we find our true sovereignty. Finally, we talk about Calvin's new cookbook, Just Desserts, which I can't wait to see! The book is available for pre-sale and launches on April 28th. I think you will leave this uplifting conversation feeling empowered and inspired, with a deeper compassion for both yourself and for others. While we are all on very unique paths in terms of our wellness journeys, we also are all part of a greater whole. When we support the well-being and sovereignty of others, we also forge the way for a better future for all. Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore/Find Calvin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theglutenfreechefblog/The Gluten Free Chef Blog: https://theglutenfreechefblog.com/540WMain, Inc: https://540westmain.org/Pre-Order Calvin's Book, Just Desserts: https://hipocampochildrensbooks.com/preorder-calvin-eaton-just-desserts-here-Virginia Sole Smith's Burnt Toast Newsletter: https://virginiasolesmith.substack.com/Your Fat Friend by Aubrey Gordon: https://www.yourfatfriend.com/ Get full access to Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD at mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/subscribe

This week, you may ask, "What's Cooking?" Well, "Today's Special" is nothing short of a "Big Night" for us when we come up with an "Off the Menu" story about a paper clip. There will be no "Waiting..." as we choose a pitch faster than we ever have.It's a fairly simple premise, but as we get "In the Weeds" we end up with a lot of "Spinning Plates" in fairly "Short Order." Things get "Heavy" fairly quickly, tensions rise, and pent-up frustrations become "Uncorked" as the story reaches its "Boiling Point." In the end, everyone gets their "Just Desserts," and realizes that "A Rising Tide" will, at least in this case, lift all ships.We're really happy with how this one turned out, and we don't think you'll feel "Burnt" after you listen to it. "No Reservations" are needed to enjoy this "Delicious" episode, just download, listen, and raise a "Toast" to our story about a paper clip.References and TranscriptSubscribe to the show:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsStitcherRSSConnect with us:TwitterFacebookInstagramRedditDiscord

Listen and subscribe at www.JustProWrestlingNews.com I'm Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Saturday, June 5, 2021. A special welcome to those of you listening on WrestleMap.com. If you want to bring our updates to your website...email us: desk@justprowrestlingnews.com. (STINGER: AEW) Andrade El Idolo has arrived in AEW. He appeared live during a special Friday Night Dynamite last night...standing alongside Vickie Guerrero. QT Marshall & Anthony Ogogo beat Cody Rhodes & Lee Johnson. QT pinned Cody after Ogogo delivered a right hand to Cody's jaw. Dustin Rhodes beat Nick Comoroto in a Bullrope Match - hitting a bulldog from the second rope and then tying up Comoroto's legs to get the pin. The Young Bucks opened the show with a win over Pac & Penta El Zero Miedo. Pac was rolled up for the pin after interference by Brandon Cutler. The Bucks' plans for a post-match beatdown were interrupted by Eddie Kingston. Jungle Boy & Christian Cage beat Private Party. After the match, Matt Hardy dropped Christian with a Twist Of Fate on the entrance ramp. Red Velvet served up Just Desserts to beat The Bunny. Miro will defend the TNT Championship on Dynamite next Friday night...against Dark Order's Evil Uno. Jake Hager challenged Wardlow to an MMA Cage Fight on Dynamite in two weeks.

It'll be announced during the Belmont Stakes pre-race show on NBC. We already know the show is set to be held on Saturday, August 21st. Bayley will get another shot at Bianca Belair's SmackDown Women's Title at Hell In A Cell. Belair challenged Bayley on last night's SmackDown...and Bayley accepted. We got not one - but TWO - SmackDown Tag Title matches last night! The show opened with Rey & Dominik Mysterio beating The Usos to retain the gold. Dominik reversed Jimmy Uso's top rope splash into a roll-up. Jimmy actually kicked out, but the ref was out of position and made the 3-count. That led to The Usos getting another shot at the tag belts in the main event. That match ended with Roman Reigns running in to cause a disqualification. Reigns battered Rey & Dominik with the ring steps after the match. That was too much for Jimmy. He walked out on Roman...but Jey was conflicted as the show ended. Apollo Crews pinned Kevin Owens after a Death Valley Driver on the ring apron to retain the Intercontinental Title. Owens was weakened before the match by a backstage attack by Commander Azeez. Sami Zayn showed up after the match to beat up on Owens a little more. King Corbin pinned Shinsuke Nakamura. It appeared Corbin had taken back his stolen crown too. But his escape was cut off by Rick Boogs...and Nakamura made off with the crown yet again. Also last night, Carmella beat Liv Morgan. (STINGER: ROH) HOT SAUCE Tracy Williams is recovering...after he was hit by a car. He tweeted a picture Friday, showing himself in a neck brace. He said he'll be okay...but didn't elaborate on his prognosis. Williams is one-half of the Ring Of Honor Tag Team Champions alongside Rhett Titus. They have a title defense against Dragon Lee and Kenny King coming up on next weekend's ROH TV. Presumably, that match already happened during the last ROH TV taping. The NWA's When Our Shadows Fall pay per view is coming up on Sunday. Nick Aldis defends the Worlds Heavyweight Championship against Trevor Murdoch. Kamille challenges Serena Deeb for the NWA Women's World Championship. Plus, Aron Stevens & Kratos defend their tag titles in a 3-Way against Chris Adonis & Thom Lattimer...and the War Kings - Crimson & Jax Dane.

In episode 55 of The Big Cruise Podcast, Chris celebrates the rising from the ashes of Pacific Dawn as she re prepares to relaunch as Ambiance for new cruise line Ambassador Cruises and in Maritime History reminds us of other ships previously earmarked for recycling rescued at the 11th hour. Of course, we round out the show with the latest cruise news of the week. This podcast is only possible thanks to our supporters, simply buying a coffee keeps us on air. It is just like shouting your mate a coffee, and we consider our listeners close mates.  https://bit.ly/2T2FYGXMARITIME HISTORYShips destined for the recycle yard rescued at the last moment including Pacific Dawn this week acquired by Ambassador Cruises.  CRUISE NEWSCLIA – Ready, Set, Sail CampaignSupport the return of local cruising in Australia. CLIA is calling on the Australian government to finalise a phased and carefully controlled resumption of domestic cruising.Click now! TAKE ACTION https://bit.ly/3eQoXMaSea trial completed for hospital ship Global Mercy – Mercy Ships Stena RoRo is leading the project for the construction of the Global Mercy™, the world's largest civilian hospital ship. After several years of construction at the Tianjin Xingang shipyard in northern China, the final test, the official sea trial, has now been completed with good results. The shipyard will present the ship for delivery this summer and the vessel will then sail to Antwerp in Belgium on its maiden voyage, where some members of the crew will board and the medical equipment supplemented. This will be followed by a visit to Rotterdam, and after this the Global Mercy™ will be ready for its first important mission in West Africa.Stena RoRo is building the Global Mercy on behalf of the international charity organization Mercy Ships, which provides free life-changing healthcare to people in some of the world's poorest countries. The project began in 2013 and Stena RoRo is responsible for design, contracting and execution. The construction project is unique in its kind and places major and specific demands on both design and layout, dependent on the special needs that hospital operations entail. On board are operating theatres and hospital wards, and everything needed for both patients and those working on board, including schools and preschools for the children of the volunteers. Sea trialThe sea trial, which the Global Mercy has just completed, means that the ship's systems and functions – such as engine performance and fuel consumption, navigation and radio equipment, maneuverability and safety systems – are tested for several days at sea.The Global Mercy will have six operating theatres, 200 hospital beds, a laboratory, a patient clinic and an eye and dental clinic. In total, she will be able to accommodate 950 people, of which 641 are crew.This summer the Global Mercy will be delivered from the shipyard. The maiden voyage will be to Antwerp in Belgium where some members of the crew will board and the last medical equipment installed, which will take a few months. After that, there will be two weeks in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, where festivities will be held in presenting the ship to sponsors, potential volunteers and other interested parties.Big difference for many peopleThe first mission will be during 2022, when the Global Mercy is expected to call at Dakar in Senegal. There will then be more than six hundred volunteers aboard from all over the world and from a variety of professional categories, who will make it all possible through their contributions of skills and time.More than 93 percent of the population in sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to safe surgical care *. The already very fragile medical care systems are at risk of being further degraded by the corona pandemic, and the need for basic but vital care is greater than ever in many poor countries. The Global Mercy will make a big difference for many people in southern and western Africa.Mercy Ships: https://bit.ly/33JfiAmCarnival Cruise Line Provides Update on Possible Restart Plan from Select U.S. HomeportCarnival Cruise Line today notified its guests and travel advisor partners of cancellations for additional sailings as it works toward plans for a possible July restart in the U.S. on select ships.Carnival hopes to begin operating sailings on three ships from Florida and Texas, including Carnival Vista and Carnival Breeze from Galveston, and Carnival Horizon from Miami.  Further, if Carnival can find a solution to allow cruise ships to visit Alaska, Carnival Miracle will assume some of Carnival Freedom's departures from Seattle. Given that there is still some uncertainty in our ability to operate these cruises, guests booked on those sailings who wish to make alternate summer vacation plans may cancel without penalty by May 31, 2021 and receive a full refund.The company is cancelling sailings on all other ships through July 30, 2021.  Guests whose cruises are cancelled are eligible for a future cruise credit (FCC) and onboard credit (OBC) or a full refund.Dream Cruises rolls out COVID vaccination for over 700 crew on Explorer Dream in Taiwan The first cruise ship to resume sailing in Asia in the post-pandemic era, Dream Cruises' Explorer Dream has been operating in Taiwan since July 2020, with over 80 successful voyages of “Discover Taiwan” and Island-Hopping cruises completed to date.

With an output of up to 20 megavolt amperes (MVA), two cruise ships can be supplied with electricity at the same time in Warnemünde at berths P7 and P8. In regular passenger operation AIDAsol needs up to 4.5 megawatts per hour (MWh) of electricity.The use of shore power to supply ships with energy is a decisive step for AIDA Cruises to reduce local emissions to zero during berthing over time, as a cruise ship typically stays in port around 40% of its operating time.Holland America Line's New Rotterdam Successfully Sails Through Sea Trials in ItalyIt was smooth seas and fair winds for Holland America Line's newest ship, Rotterdam, which returned in the evening of May 6 to Fincantieri's Marghera (Venice) shipyard in Italy, after successfully completing two sets of sea trials off the country's Adriatic coast.Rotterdam left Marghera April 25 and performed the preliminary sea trials over two days before going into dry dock at Fincantieri's Trieste shipyard where standard pre-delivery hull maintenance and painting were performed.

Heading from regional NSW to Sydney at the age of 15 to commence his pastry apprenticeship proved to be an excellent move for Adriano. The ‘Sweet Assassin' was immediately hooked and thrived on the opportunity to serve his own creations. He has worked with some of Sydney's top restaurants and in France with pâtissier masters Ramon Morato and Pierre Herme. His media career includes a self-titled documentary on SBS, multiple appearances on MasterChef Australia, ‘Just Desserts' on channel 7 and Netflix hit ‘Sugar Rush'. Adriano draws inspiration from a multitude of sources and is billed as ‘Australia's answer to Willy Wonka'. If you have a sweet tooth – then this is the episode for you!

Charlotte Ree once ate 30 different kinds of croissants during a trip to France – then got a croissant tattoo afterwards. She's so dedicated to pastries that she'll stay up until 5:30am to finish a baking marathon. Pulling 120 cakes out of the oven during the hours people reserve for sleeping – and then going to work the next day, as communications manager for Pan Macmillan (the publisher of Hetty McKinnon's cookbooks) – well, that's just a normal whirlwind day for Charlotte. Charlotte's love of all things sweet is clear on every page of Just Desserts, her latest cookbook. It features recipes for Nutella thumbprint cookies, peach and raspberry tray cake, tiramisu swiss rolls and chocolate ganache Bundt (Charlotte likes big Bundts and she can not lie). Just Desserts also includes "a nod to the king of biscuits" and is laced and frosted with a good dose of puns (sieve the day)! Charlotte talks about how to land a cookbook deal (when you're not a celebrity chef), being on the publicity trail with Hetty McKinnon, as well as Charlotte's personal baking triumphs, fails and memorable moments. Plus, we take an express trip to her favourite patisseries around the world (I've saved her Tokyo recommendations for my next trip)! Note: this was recorded a few months ago, before the current pandemic and lockdown hit. So, social distancing is paramount, but please take note of eateries you can still responsibly support as they need the help right now. And there's plenty in the podcast archive (the Christina Tosi episode, the one with Lune Croissanterie's Kate Reid!) if you're keen for a self-isolation soundtrack or audio company during this unprecedented time.
