Today’s guest is Natasha Pickowicz—pastry chef, author, community builder, and one of Cherry Bombe’s most beloved cover stars. Natasha is back on the show to celebrate her brand-new cookbook, “Everyone Hot Pot: Creating the Ultimate Meal for Gathering and Feasting,” a deeply personal and joyful exploration of hot pot as food, ritual, and a way of bringing people together. Known for her iconic cakes and her debut book “More Than Cake,” Natasha’s move into savory cooking is a surprising and meaningful next chapter.
Natasha joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about why hot pot felt like the right subject for her second book, how growing up with a Beijing-born mom shaped her relationship to food, and why communal meals matter more than ever right now. They discuss what hot pot actually is (and how easy it can be to do at home), the magic of interactive cooking at the table, and how hot pot adapts effortlessly to different cultures, diets, budgets, and occasions. Plus, Natasha shares what’s always in her fridge, her love of playlists and long walks, her journaling habit, her collaboration with her artist mother on the book’s illustrations, and why mistakes are essential to growth.
