Flamingo Estate founder Richard Christiansen wants us to reconnect with what’s important in life: food, our five senses, Mother Nature, and each other. He joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about his new book, “Flamingo Estate: The Guide To Becoming Alive,” and the events in his life that led to the founding of his cult brand.

Richard also talks about his mentors, including Alice Waters, Martha Stewart, and Jane Goodall, why he wants to age like a peach or a plum, and why our senses are anything but common.

This episode was recorded at Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center. Thank you to Kerrygold and Meridian Printing for supporting Radio Cherry Bombe.
