Fine Dining Meets Feel-Good Food With Goop Kitchen’s Kim Floresca Oct 13, 2025

Show notes

Chef Kim Floresca’s career has taken her from the world’s top restaurants to one of L.A.’s most buzzed-about fast-casual projects. After training at the Culinary Institute of America, Kim cooked at fine dining destinations including El Bulli in Spain and Per Se in New York City, and spent time as a private chef before making the leap to Goop Kitchen, the clean-eats concept from Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop.

As Vice President of Culinary and Culture, Kim oversees menu development, helping shape Goop Kitchen’s flavorful and wellness-driven approach to food. She joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her journey from haute cuisine to health-forward, the skills that carried over from the fine dining world, Goop Kitchen expansion plans, and what Goop Kitchen tricks we can borrow for our own kitchens.

How Top Chef Pushed Melissa King To Be Her True Self Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

Melissa King is back! The “Top Chef” champion stops by to chat about her debut book, “Cook Like a King: Recipes from My California Kitchen,” and how it’s a roadmap of her life.

Melissa got her start as a latchkey kid making meals for her parents, who worked as engineers. She used the microwave until her folks trusted her with the stove, and her mom even gifted her a child-size meat cleaver when she was just eight. Little did they know she would grow up to compete on “Top Chef” twice, and that she would win the title once she learned to embrace the food she grew up with. She credits the show’s Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons with pushing her to “think deeper” about her creations and cook with heart and soul.

She and host Kerry Diamond also cover the ceviche dish she created for the Met Gala and the Thom Browne suit she wore on the red carpet; how she makes a living as a culinary creative without a restaurant; and what’s behind the recipes in her new book.

In For Dinner’s Rosie Kellett On Communal Cooking And Leaning Into The Cringe Sep 08, 2025

Show notes

Today’s guest is Rosie Kellett, author of “In for Dinner: 101 Delicious, Affordable Recipes to Share.” Rosie stopped by the studio while she was in New York to celebrate the launch of her debut cookbook, which was inspired by her unique communal living setup in London. She and her housemates share the costs of groceries, divvy up chores, and cook for one another, creating a household where food and responsibility are equally shared.

Rosie joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the rules and rewards of communal life, the inspiration behind her book, and the recipes that her housemates return to again and again. She also reflects on her early career as a playwright, her time working as a PA for actor Samantha Morton, and getting past the cringe to establish herself in the food world.
