Happy 2025!
Today we welcome beloved friend, chef and flower goddess Loria Stern for a delicious conversation on all the ways food, love, plants, business and creativity intertwine.
Loria’s vibrant edible creations have been celebrated in Vogue, The New York Times and Harper’s Bazaar. She’s launched successful collaborations with brands from Whole Foods to Prada, Bloomingdales to Adidas. Loria Stern has done nothing less than pioneer EAT YOUR FLOWERS — her garden to table food company which is also the title of her cookbook.
We discuss

- Life as a NYC pastry chef, cake designer and fish mongress
- The story behind Loria’s famous pressed flower shortbread cookies
- Navigating the dark night of the soul moments that come with growth
- Cancel culture and social media
- Homes over the years in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles and what’s growing in Loria’s garden right now
- The process of writing and selling a cookbook
- Loria’s dream dinner guests and desert island culinary tools
We Love You Loria! Your grounded, earthy, meticulous yet wildly creative energy is everything we want to call into this new year.
