Hi, Bombs Squad, welcome to the Future of Food, a radio Cherry Bomb

Bomb miniseries.

I'm your host, Carrie Diamond.

The Cherry Bomb team toured America last year and traveled from Seattle to Chicago to Dallas and lots of places in between to ask women what the future of food means to them.

Throughout this series, you're going to hear talks and panels that we recorded on each stop.

You'll hear from restaurant revolutionaries, pastry pioneers, and even self-proclaimed unicorns. These members of

the bomb squad shared their vision for what's next in their world and the world around them.

I hope this series inspires you to stop and think about your future. Thank you to Kerrygold

for supporting our tour and this mini-series. Carrigold is the iconic Irish brand known for its award-winning butter and cheese

made with milk from grass-fed cows.

For this episode, we're heading to Detroit, Michigan, the iconic American town undergoing

a radical transformation.

We recorded this show at Good Cakes and Bakes, the delicious bake shop owned by our

wonderful host, April Anderson. We're going to get things started with a talk from Amanda Saab,

owner and baker at the Butter Bear Shop in Livonia, Michigan, and the co-founder of My Muslim

neighbor. Before we get this show on the road, let's check in with our sponsor.

Since Kerry Gold gave us the opportunity to travel around the U.S. and hear from women all

over the country, we thought it would be fascinating to take a virtual detour to Ireland, to hear

how some of their delicious products are made. One of the cheeses we love in particular is the award-winning

Kerry Gold Cashel Blue Irish farmhouse cheese.

So we placed a call to Sarah Furno, a farmhouse cheesemaker who happens to know the history

of how this very unique cheese came to be and who happened to create it.
