Small Bites Radio Episode 201 - Passport to Flavor by Chef Abby Cheshire and Baking and the Meaning of Life: How to Find Joy in 100 Recipes by Helen Goh This week on Small Bites Radio, we serve up a global, soulful, and very Philly centric packed with culinary inspiration and big city excitement. We kick things off celebrating Philadelphia’s upcoming 250th anniversary, along with the incredible lineup of major events heading our way including FIFA World Cup matches, the MLB All-Star Game, and another triumphant year for Donato, who takes first place once again at the Mummers Parade. Our featured guest is social media sensation Chef Abby Cheshire, private yacht chef, culinary arts teacher, and creator behind the wildly popular @abbyinthegalley with over 4 million social media followers! Abby joins us to talk about her upcoming cookbook, Passport to Flavor: 100 Global Dishes You Can Make Anywhere published by Harper Celebrate, releasing January 20, 2026. Drawing from her years cooking aboard luxury yachts around the world, Abby shares how home cooks can create vibrant international dishes in any kitchen no matter the size. From the Mediterranean and Caribbean to Asia and Europe, her recipes are infused with regional flavors, fresh local ingredients, and practical tips for cooking in small spaces. We also chat about her life teaching high school students during the year, summers spent at sea, her love of global food culture, and even her dream of cooking for Ina Garten how she should meet Extreme Chef Terry French and her life cooking and living in Florida. The episode also features acclaimed pastry chef and writer Helen Goh, who joins us to discuss her highly anticipated debut solo cookbook, Baking and the Meaning of Life: How to Find Joy in 100 Recipes published by Abrams Books. Known for her longtime collaboration with Yotam Ottolenghi on Sweet and Comfort, Helen shares how her multicultural upbringing in Malaysia and Australia, her Mediterranean and Middle Eastern baking influences, and her work as a trained psychologist shape both her recipes and her philosophy. From showstopping celebration cakes to comforting everyday bakes and even savory treats Helen explores how baking fosters connection, community, and joy in life’s biggest and smallest moments. It’s an episode filled with travel, storytelling, meaningful food, and Philly pride only on Small Bites Radio. #ChefAbbyCheshire #AbbyInTheGalley #PassportToFlavor #GlobalCuisine #CookbookRelease #HelenGoh #BakingAndTheMeaningOfLife #Ottolenghi #BakingLife #CookbookLove #CulinaryTravel #FoodAroundTheWorld #YachtChef #GlobalEats #PhillyEats #PhillyFoodScene #Philadelphia250 #PhillyPride #FIFAinPhilly #MLBAllStarPhilly #MummersParade #DonatoWins Small Bites Radio is the WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment 2023-2025, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022 Best of Arts & Entertainment, named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020–2025, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2025, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-25, and Top Philly Food RSS Feeds 2024-2025.
