Hosted by Kerry DiamondProduced by Catherine Baker and Jenna SadhuEdited by Jenna SadhuRecorded at CityVox StudiosMusic by Tralala, “All Fired Up”Chef Iliana Regan joins us to talk about her latest book, Fieldwork: A Forager’s Memoir, a moving story about her new life as proprietor, along with her wife Anna, of The Milkweed Inn, a getaway set on 150 remote acres of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The book is a follow-up to Iliana’s 2019 National Book Award long-listed memoir, Burn The Place, about her life as a chef. Fieldwork is a story about foraging—for fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds during the different seasons in the forest—but it’s also about emotional foraging, and understanding the unseen ties that bond family, food, flora, and fauna. Iliana wants people who read the book to think about their connections to the people and things they love. Join Radio Cherry Bombe host Kerry Diamond, Boca Chef Maria Mazon, and other special guests at the Graduate Hotel Tucson Thursday, Feb. 23rd, for a special night of networking, talks, panel, and snacks and drinks.
