Today is all about ice cream, and we have two guests who know the business inside and out. Tyler Malek is the cofounder and head chef of Salt & Straw, a cult-followed ice cream chain with scoop shops across the country. Based in Portland, Oregon, Salt & Straw is known for churning out the most imaginative ice cream flavors around. In the new cookbook America's Most Iconic Ice Creams, Tyler takes a look at the classics with fresh eyes, then branches out into new territory. Aliza had so much fun having Tyler in the studio to nerd out on ice cream, from hitting up vanilla geneticists to building “flavor trinities” in each scoop. Also on the show, we catch up with Pooja Bavishi. Pooja is the founder and CEO of Malai, a South Asian–inspired ice cream company based in Brooklyn, and she's one of the sharpest founders in the ice cream game. We talk about Pooja's big idea for Malai and dig into her debut cookbook. Do you enjoy This Is TASTE? Drop us a review on Apple, or star us on Spotify. We'd love to hear from you.

Today we are here to talk about all things ice cream with Pooja Bavishi, founder of Malai in Brooklyn, NY. You may know Malai for their unique take on ice cream, with flavors ranging from rose with cinnamon roasted almonds to red chili chocolate. Today we chat about Pooja’s childhood and her love of desserts inspired by Mrs. Fields cookies, how a Friendsgiving kicked off Pooja’s ice cream journey, and flavor combinations inspired by Pooja’s upbringing. Let’s dig in. This episode uses Royalty Free Music - (Music: www.bensound.com)

Pooja Bavishi knew she wanted to be in the dessert business, but she never envisioned herself as an ice cream entrepreneur. Then one year, during her annual Friendsgiving celebration, she broke out an ice cream maker her parents had given her and made two ice creams: ginger and star anise. Her friends raved and Pooja knew it was her a-ha moment. Fast forward: Pooja’s Malai ice cream is a growing brand with national distribution through Goldbelly and its own scoop shop in Brooklyn. Malai specializes in global flavors with a twist, many of which celebrate Pooja’s Indian heritage, such as Pumpkin Garam Masala Crumble, Jaggery with Tamarind Caramel, and Sweet Roti & Ghee. Tune in to hear all about Pooja’s cool journey. Thank you to Sonos for supporting Radio Cherry Bombe. 

Award-winning pastry chefs around the country have been furloughed or let go from their positions as restaurants struggle to deal with the ramifications of the coronavirus. “It doesn’t matter if you won a James Beard Award. It doesn’t matter if you are the most visible figure on a restaurant staff,” says Natasha Pickowicz. “At the end of the day, I think pastry in restaurants and fine dining restaurants is at a critical juncture.” Natasha, one of the most celebrated and visible pastry chefs in New York City and well-known for spearheading an annual Planned Parenthood bake sale, lost her job and has been busy processing and responding to the shifting realities around her. She and host Kerry Diamond talk about her two new initiatives, The Bake Sale Project resource-sharing platform, and the Never Ending Taste pop-up at Superiority Burger in NYC this weekend, as well as the success of the Bakers Against Racism project. Thank you to the folks at Breyer’s CarbSmart and Sonos for supporting today’s show. Plus, stick around to hear why Pooja Bavishi, the founder and CEO of Malai Ice Cream, thinks Padma Lakshmi is the Bombe!

Stern alum, Pooja Bavishi, joins us to discuss how Stern helped her go from urban planner to ice cream entrepreneur.

Pooja Bavishi is the founder of Malai Ice Cream, which has been called “a taste of India in a cone.” (via Thrillist) Before starting Malai, Pooja worked in Fair and Affordable Housing and then got her Masters in Urban Planning. She then pivoted and went to business school, which set in motion her dream of owning a dessert business. In this episode, Pooja and I talk about the importance of determining a strong brand off the bat - and how to do that - as well as acknowledging and incorporating unforeseen aspects, such as the importance of a direct-to-consumer model for a product as nostalgic as ice cream, in a very saturated industry. We also talk about finding ways to combat the isolation of entrepreneurship, gaining a community & sharing resources, and seeking mentors. Thanks, too, to my best friend Lara, for sharing a few words at the beginning of the episode about her inspiring career transition. --Malai Ice Cream-- Instagram & Twitter // @malai_icecream www.malai.co --keep it quirky-- @keepitquirkypodcast - instagram @qkatie - katie quinn on instagram & twitter www.youtube.com/TheQKatie www.facebook.com/TheQKatie See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Pooja’s interest in cooking started as a child in North Carolina, watching the early versions of cooking shows on television and then trying to recreate the recipes in the kitchen herself. Though she pursued other interests in fair and affordable housing through the non-profit sector, she continued to follow her ice cream-making hobby. She was particularly inspired by the blank palate of an ice cream base, when she discovered that the same spices of her parents’ Indian cooking – ginger, rose petals, saffron, and cardamom - could be used to robustly flavor ice creams in a way that she never tasted before. Join us for a discussion of Pooja's process and creativity in building an ice cream brand that's innovative and true to her culinary roots. Why Food? is powered by Simplecast
