Summary

Amber Mayfield doesn’t let much get in her way. The events she worked on at her corporate job were a little stale, so she launched her own events company, To Be Hosted. She thought Black culinary creatives deserved attention year-round, not just for Black History Month, so she launched her own print and digital magazine, While Entertaining. She wanted to pay homage to her grandmother’s recipes, so she self-published a recipe journal (coming this fall), rather than go the traditional publishing route. Amber is organized, centered, and spiritual and she joins host Kerry Diamond to share her story. Don’t miss this episode! Radio Cherry Bombe is supported by Wild Planet, leaders in sustainable seafood. For more information, recipes, and a store locator, head to wildplanetfoods.com. Our podcast is recorded at Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Our theme song is by the band Tra La La.

0:00.0	Hi, everyone's listening to Radio Cherrybaum, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond, coming to you from
0:21.3	Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City. Each week, we feature
0:26.5	interviews with the coolest culinary personalities around. Joining me today is Amber Mayfield,
0:32.4	the founder of To Be hosted, an event production company, and the founder of While Entertaining, a print and digital
0:39.1	magazine. You know we love print magazines around here. Amber is a real doer, as you're about to learn,
0:44.7	and when she sets her mind to something, she gets it done. If you're a long-time listener,
0:48.8	you know we really never talk about people's ages on Radio Cherrybaum because you could do
0:53.2	cool things at every age,
0:54.5	right? But Amber has done all of this and more, and she's not even 30 years old yet. Very
0:59.8	impressive. We'll be checking in with this dynamo in just a minute. Today's show is presented by
1:05.7	Wild Planet Foods, the company known for its sustainable tin seafood. A lot of you out there are like me,
1:12.0	and that you love to cook for yourself, you collect cookbooks, you're always checking out recipes,
1:16.2	and you try to have a well-stocked pantry. One of my pantry staples is canned tuna.
1:21.8	Even though I care about sourcing and buy my fresh fish from sustainable sources,
1:25.7	I surprisingly hadn't given any thought to my canned tuna.
1:28.9	It turns out the fancy brand I was using had zero sourcing information on its packaging.
1:34.3	That's just one of the reasons I love wild planets Skipjack and Albuquer Tuna.
1:39.7	They are 100% sustainably pull and line caught.
1:43.7	Everything you need to know is right there on the label.
1:46.7	There's even more information on their website, wild planetfoods.com. You can learn about their
1:51.8	sustainable fishing practices and how Wild Planet came to be. You can also snag their most
1:56.9	popular recipes. If you'd like to try Wild Planet for yourself, check out Cherrybom's
