Happy New Year, Bombesquad! For our first episode of 2026, we’re kicking things off with Wishbone Kitchen’s Meredith Hayden, the cookbook author, recipe developer, and private chef who happens to be one of the biggest culinary stars around right now. Meredith is known for her intuitive approach to home cooking, her seasonal sensibility, and her thoughtful way of blending food, style, and everyday life.

Meredith joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the success of her debut cookbook and why she’s focused on work-life balance as she heads into a milestone birthday—Meredith turns 30 this month. They also discuss her meal kit collaboration with Home Chef, the story behind the name Wishbone Kitchen, her love of farmers markets, the best meal she ate in 2025 (hello, Firenze), and whether she relates more to Martha or Ina. Plus, Meredith shares what she’s streaming, what’s always in her fridge, and what she can’t wait to eat on her upcoming trip to Japan.

For our last episode of 2025, we’re bringing you a special episode recorded live at Cherry Bombe’s Jubilee conference in Los Angeles this September. Molly Baz, the cookbook author, recipe developer, and entrepreneur, joins host Kerry Diamond on the Jubilee stage for a thoughtful and candid conversation.

Molly talks about coming into her own creatively in L.A., building her food businesses from the ground up, learning when to ask for help and trust collaborators, and how she dealt with losing her home in the L.A. fires this past January.

Molly and Kerry were introduced by Sara Kramer of the restaurant Kismet in L.A.
