Today’s guest is Lauren Tran, the owner and pastry chef behind Bánh by Lauren, the popular Vietnamese-American and French-inspired bakery in New York City’s Chinatown. Lauren’s menu is a love letter to tradition, family, and flavor with delicious treats like lychee raspberry macarons, steamed rice cakes, and pandan coconut chiffon cake. Lauren joins host Jessie Sheehan to share how she turned a pandemic pop-up into one of the city's most buzzed-about bakeries, the pie contest that helped launch her career, and how her childhood in Seattle, fine-dining training, and Vietnamese roots shape every recipe she creates. Then, the duo walk through Lauren’s recipe for her signature Pandan Honeycomb Cake (bánh bò nuớng in Vietnamese).Thank you to <a href="https://www.nordicware.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoozhFHAvOpC33ZLZTLOo-ae4f4zCUmeihossqJAkV2KhKTbxKFp">Nordic Ware</a> and <a href="https://californiaprunes.org/">California Prunes</a> for their support. <a href="https://cherrybombe.com/pages/jubilee-2025-la">Jubilee L.A. tickets</a> are on sale now!Join our <a href="https://cherrybombe.com/pages/tastemaker-tour-2025">Summer Tastemaker Tour</a> waitlistGet <a href="https://cherrybombe.com/pages/the-power-issue">The Power Issue</a>Visit <a href="http://cherrybombe.com">cherrybombe.com</a> for subscriptions, show transcripts, and tickets to upcoming events.More on Lauren: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/banhbylauren/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://banhbylauren.com/">Bánh by Lauren website</a>More on Jessie: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jessiesheehanbakes/">Instagram</a>, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Salty-Cheesy-Herby-Crispy-Snackable/dp/1682688690">Salty, Cheesy, Herby, Crispy Snackable Bakes</a>” cookbook
