About this episode
Today’s guest is Natasha Pickowicz, the celebrated pastry chef, pop-up queen and Cherry Bombe magazine cover star. Natasha is a singular talent in the food world, and has become known during the pandemic for her thoughtful, creative pop-ups and collaborations. She shares her pop-up do’s and don’ts and the early experiences that shaped who she is today, from rowing crew at Cornell to a random job at a punk rock bodega in Montreal, and gives us a peek at her upcoming cookbook. Natasha and host Kerry Diamond also talk about Natasha’s dad, the history professor Paul Pickowicz, and his journey back to Ukraine to learn more about his roots.
