Host Kerry Diamond is on the road, so we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes—a heartwarming chat with Ina Garten from 2022. We caught up with the Barefoot Contessa as she celebrated the release of her 13th cookbook, the bestselling “Go-To Dinners.” Ina shared the inspiration behind her book, spilled the secrets to a few crowd-pleasing recipes, and revealed some of the details of her forthcoming memoir.
Ina also talked about her hit TV show and podcast, “Be My Guest With Ina Garten,” and what it’s been like interviewing her friends, including Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt.
Lastly, Ina shares some of her and her husband Jeffrey’s favorite Christmas traditions, including Berthillon prune-and-Armagnac ice cream, Poilâne apple tarts, and post-meal strolls through the Luxembourg Gardens.

Today’s episode was recorded at this year’s Shine Away conference, hosted by Reese Witherspoon’s media company, Hello Sunshine. Asma Khan, the chef and owner of Darjeeling Express, joins Radio Cherry Bombe host Kerry Diamond on stage to talk about her inspiring life and career. “I am what I am because I was put through fire,” says Asma.

Today, there’s a “Chef’s Table” episode about her on Netflix, she was on this year’s TIME 100 list, and she has a new cookbook, her third, out this March titled "Monsoon: Delicious Indian Recipes for Every Day and Season.” She talks about her unlikely start in the culinary world, her all-female kitchen, how she raised the money to open her business, and her commitment to female empowerment.
