Whole World Chicken, Breaking, Baby, and we're all about it.

Hi, everybody, welcome to Radio Cherry Bomb.

I'm Carrie Diamond, editorial director of Cherry Bomb, the indie magazine about women and food.

I hope your summer is going well.

Lots of excitement right now at Cherry Bomb headquarters because we finally revealed our cookbook cover and announced the on sale date, which is October 10th.

We worked with more than 100 women on the cookbook, and I have to say it's really beautiful.

Alpha Smoot shot all the pictures. Claudia Fika did the food styling. And there are so many recipes I'm in

love with, and I know you will be too, at least I hope you will be too. If you want to be the first to know

about our cookbook tour stops and any of the guest chef dinners we're doing, make sure to sign up

for our emails at cherrybom.com. First, let's thank our sponsor, LaCardombleau, the legendary culinary school with

locations around the globe. We've got a great sweepstakes going on with LaCardonbleu right now.

You could win culinary classes in Paris, London, or Ottawa, plus airfare, hotel, and a little

spending money. Visit Cherrybomb.com to enter. We have a special

co-host with us today, my nephew, Luke, want to say hello to everybody?

Hello! So Luke, how old are you? I'm eight and I live in Walpole, Massachusetts.

You live in Walpole? Okay, why are you here today? I'm here to interview two female bakers. And why do you point out that they're female bakers? Because Cherry Balm only interviews female. Okay, that's a valid point. Okay, I'll take it. And you slept over last night, right? Yes, I did. Did you have a great time? Yeah, that's one. I like Dusty. Tell them who, tell people who Dusty is. Yeah, Dusty's this, um, my aunt's cat, and she's really playful, so. And she's pretty, right? She's gray, big green eyes. And she looks like she has tattoos.

Well, she does have tattoos. Weirdly, my cat has tattoos in her ears, and no one knows why. They think maybe she was a lab cat, or, but she was a rescue. And your two cats are rescues, right? What are your cat's names?

Alfie and Raxie. And right? Adopt-don't shop. Exactly. Why are we talking about cats right now? I have no idea. Why are we talking about cats? Because it's, we can talk about anything we want. Still, this is kind of one. I bet a lot of our listeners like cats or dogs, or both. And we, uh, you stayed up way past your bedtime. Yep.

Did you tell your mother?
