The food stylist, photographer, and recipe developer behind the trailblazing book \u201cBlack Girl Baking\u201d and the blog Chocolate for Basil, Jerrelle realized the relentless demands on culinary creatives were causing her to lose the joy she always found in the world of food. So she stepped away to rediscover what she loved in the first place. \u201cI don\u2019t like the grind culture,\u201d she tells host Kerry Diamond\n\nJerrelle is now working on her second book, which covers the intersection of food, mental health, and healing, and she has a line of kitchen and housewares created in collaboration with Anthropologie. The collection, with its soothing colors, patterns, and textures, is inspired by Jerrelle\u2019s great aunt and the act of cultivating spaces that allow ourselves to thrive. The collection is now in stores. \n\nThank you to K\xe4serei Champignon, makers of Cambozola cheese, for supporting this episode. \n\nRadio Cherry Bombe is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.
