Molly Baz, Food World Superstar, On Letting Go And Holding On

Molly Baz, author, recipe developer, mom, and entrepreneur, joins us to talk about the unexpected turns her life has taken since leaving Bon Appétit in 2020 and putting down roots in Los Angeles. There’s Molly’s entrepreneur life, which includes the Ayoh mayo and sando sauce company, Drink This Wine, and the Face Plant fast-food spot in Portland, Oregon; her partnerships with brands like Special K; her bestselling cookbooks; and her support for pregnant and nursing moms. And then, of course, there were the L.A. fires earlier this January in which Molly and her husband lost their home.

She and host Kerry Diamond discuss her life today, what she’s holding onto and leaving behind, and why joy remains the priority.
