Hi, this is Mimi Sheraton, author of A Thousand Foods to Eat Before You Die,

and you are listening to Radio Cherry Bomb.

Boys and Girls Are All right, uh, Boys and Girls Are All right, uh, Whole World's Chicken, Breaking, Baby, and we are all by her. Whole world's chicken, baby, and we're on by her.

Hi, everybody.

Welcome to Radio Cherry Bomb.

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

This season of Radio Cherry Bon, okay, I can't stop laughing.

This woman's taking pictures of us. You can keep rolling, Dave. I don't know if she knows we're

talking about her now, but for those of you who've never been to Radio Cherrybom or Heritage Radio,

we are actually located in two shipping containers in the back of Roberta's

pizza restaurant. And there's a window that separates us from the guests at Roberta's. So the people

who sit right next to the shipping container are always kind of surprised when we walk in and that

there's an actual show taking place. So these ladies are taking our pictures, but I don't know them and they don't know us.

So anyway, as I was saying, this season of Radio Cherrybaum is brought to you by Knav,

publisher of food's most fabulous icons from Julia Child to Lydia Bostionage

and home to new literary talents,

such as Sweet Bitter's Stephanie Danler. It's been a fun week at Cherrybaum H.Q because we shared

the cover of our new issue. Our cover girl is Padma Lakshmi, who all of you know and love.

I didn't know that much about Padma until I read her memoir and wrote the cover story and she's really a remarkable woman. I think you'll be very surprised when you read the cover

story. There's a lot more to Padma than just Top Chef. The issue is available for pre-order on our website.

So visit Cherrybom.com and order away or better yet, subscribe to Cherrybaum. Or you can ask your favorite stockist like Book Larder in Seattle or Omnivore Books in San Francisco to save you a copy.

So today's show, our first guest is Katrina Markoff, the founder of Voshochocola and Wild Ophelia, two of my favorite chocolate brands.
