    Roman Pasta & Real Talk With Chef Hillary Sterling Of Ci Siamo And “Ammazza!”

    Chef Hillary Sterling of NYC’s Ci Siamo finally has a cookbook to call her own. “AMMAZZA! Culinary Adventures from New York to Italy and Back Again” is out tomorrow and showcases everything Hillary loves to make, from Roman pastas to Mexican food to Jewish classics with a twist. And the title? Ammazza is Italian for “you killed it,” “you slayed,” or good old “wow!” Hillary joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the long road to “AMMAZZA!” and what the cookbook process taught her about herself and her cooking. She shares stories from her New York restaurant career, from working for Bobby Flay at Mesa Grill to cooking with Missy Robbins at A Voce, and opens up about the painful zero-star review she received at The Beatrice Inn, and how it ultimately helped her find her footing. They also dive into life at Ci Siamo, the women leading kitchens across Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, and their exciting plans to bring Ci Siamo to Boston. Plus, Hillary talks pasta, vegetables, vinaigrettes, rainbow cookies, and why she doesn’t have measuring cups at home.  You can find Hillary’s Grilled Asparagus with Ramps & Mint Vinaigrette recipe from “AMMAZZA!” on our Substack.

    “Revel” Author Mariana Velásquez On Hosting, Heartbreak & Rewriting Her Story

    For our final episode of “The New Home,” our miniseries in partnership with Fisher & Paykel, we’re spotlighting Mariana Velásquez. A celebrated food stylist and author of the new book “Revel: A Maximalist Guide to Having People Over,” Mariana is known for her lush, layered aesthetic and her belief that food is meant to be experienced as a full table, not just individual dishes. She joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the inspiration behind “Revel,” from her approach to menus and entertaining to the creative process of bringing her book to life with celebrated photographers Gentl & Hyers. They also discuss how she became one of the industry’s most sought-after food stylists, the realities of cooking and hosting in a small New York City kitchen, and the deeply personal story behind the book. When Mariana’s marriage ended, she had to rewrite “Revel” days before the deadline, and she went on to learn about resilience, reinvention, and the power of gathering with intention. At the end of the episode, we share Mariana’s moving solo talk from the recent Cherry Bombe Jubilee NYC.
