Carla Lalli

Hi, everybody.

You're listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Keri Diamond, coming to you from Newstown Studios at Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City.

I'm thrilled that today's guest is Carla Lawley, such a superstar.

She's a bestselling cookbook author, recipe developer, and content creator.

She has a brand new cookbook out September 8th, and it's unlike any other cookbook out there right now.

It's called Food is a Feeling.

recipes, and stories with love.

This book is filled with personal essays about Carla living her life after her marriage of more than 20 years came to an end.

With food as a feeling, she has managed to create something really beautiful and not bitter from the aftermath.

Carla and I cover a lot of ground on today's show.

Nora Ephron, recipes that aren't really recipes, the beach, the summer, and living our lives the best we know how.

Stay tuned for Carla Lawley.

Speaking of Carla, she and I will be in conversation on September 10th at noon at Cherry Bomb House, our 10-day pop-up in New York City's meatpacking district.

We'll do a live radio Cherry Bomb episode followed by a book signing.

It's an intimate event, so don't miss your chance to hang out with us, ask questions, and get a personalized copy of Carla's new book.

Tickets are $45 and include the talk, a signed copy, access to the Cherry Bomb Cafe powered by Square, and the Bomb Squad Lounge downstairs, and all the free treats and drinks from folks including Donna, Ghirardelli, and Clementine's Ice Cream.
