Send Love, Spread Peace: The Science of Promoting Peace Through Meditation

Running one pastry program alone is a feat of organization and carbohydrates—but two? Well, that’s all in a day’s work for Camari Mick. She’s the executive pastry chef at the Musket Room, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood, and she’s also creating breakfast pastries like candied orange almond croissants for the newly opened Raf’s up the block. Camari is a star in New York’s white-hot pastry scene, so Aliza’s thrilled to have her on the show to talk about developing dessert tasting menus, being nominated for a James Beard Award, and how she’s making the industry more equitable.   MORE FROM CAMARI MICK:Raf’s Conjures Swirling Abundance from a Wood-Fired Oven [NYT]Where the Musket Room's Camari Mick Goes in NYC [Michelin Guide]Raf’s Pastry Chef Camari Mick Is Perfecting the Classics [Airmail] FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW:instagram.com/camari_mickinstagram.com/alizaraeinstagram.com/taste

Singer, songwriter, keyboardist, and visual artist Hannah Hooper co-founded the band Grouplove with her husband Christian Zucconi fourteen years ago, and rarely does interviews alone. But on the heels of releasing the band's sixth album, I Want It All Right Now, Hannah sits down with Carmel Holt for an in-depth conversation about the journey from solitary visual artist to a catsuit-wearing band leader, singing on some of the world's largest stages.

For Rachel Karten, “link in bio” isn’t just a social media call to action—it’s a career. The former head of social at Bon Appétit and Epicurious is now a social media consultant and the creator of the newsletter Link in Bio, which dispenses insights and interviews on the cutting edge of social media in food and far beyond. Rachel is my go-to person for demystifying things like the TikTok and Instagram algorithms (well, as much as anyone can), so I’m thrilled to have her on the show to talk about the current state of brand social media, why Instagram matters for restaurants, and much more.  Also on the show, Matt talks about the first, sold-out, and extremely fun TASTE Travels cookbook trip with author Suzy Karadsheh. They visited Puglia last month and ate a lifetime's worth of orecchiette. Not a bad thing at all.

John deBary is a bartender extraordinaire, a cookbook author, a spokesperson for the bar and restaurant world, and one of our favorite guests on the show. He’s back to talk about his really great new book, Saved by the Bellini: & Other 90s-Inspired Cocktails. In this episode we talk about deadstock sodas, muse on summer drinking, and dive into what he loves so much about the 1990s.  Also on the show, Aliza and Matt share some of their discoveries while walking the floor at the Fancy Food Show, the annual grocery trade show at New York’s Javits Center. The mushroom chips flowed early and often.  MORE FROM JOHN DEBARY:I’m a Bartender and Yes, I Use Gatorade in Cocktails [BA]Dunkaroos Alexander [Food52]Drag Legend Sherry Vine Calls Burbank the Next Queer Hotspot [Thrillist]Strawberry and Kiwi: Why?
