Hi, everyone,

Hi, everyone, you're listening to Radio Cherrybone, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond, coming to you from New Stand Studios at Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City. I'm the founder and editor of Cherry Bomb magazine, and each week I talk to the most interesting culinary folks around.

Joining me in the studio today is Lucy Frank de Ferrier. She's the baker behind From Lucy, the popular

new bakery in New York's East Village. Lucy makes some of the loveliest cakes around. They're sweet

and delicate and festooned with flowers. Lucy is a self-taught baker with a fascinating

backstory. She grew up on a chateau in the Bordeaux region of France with a

cordon-blanc-trained grandmother, who was part of the French resistance as a teenager, and with a

mom who is a baking enthusiast from New Zealand. So needless to say, Lucy and I had a lot to talk about.

Stay tuned. Thank you to everyone who joined us last Monday for our sit-with-us dinner with open table at Zuzu's in Manhattan.

It was so nice meeting all of you.

Chef Juliana Lateef, who will be hearing from on a future episode, and her team made the most beautiful meal.

If you don't know about Zuzuz, put it on your restaurant bucket list immediately.

The strawberry salad, the broccoli, the lamb chops,

the baklava cheesecake, I could go on and on. Everything was so good. Chef Juliana is a big

talent. Obviously, you can book your table through OpenTable. The next dinner in our Sit

With Us series is in Los Angeles tonight. I can't wait to see our West Coast pals.

Thank you to OpenTable for supporting our show.

Lucy, welcome to Radio Cherrybaum. Thank you so much. This is your first podcast.

Ever, yeah. I had no idea. You're the toast of the town. I thought you'd done like a ton of podcasts already.

I know I'm making it seem like I did,

but no, I never. Very exciting. Congratulations on getting your bakery open. How is it going?

It's going great. It's been a little cuckoo. It's been a month and a half now, and time flies.
