Radio Cherry Bombe

Today’s guest is India Doris, the chef and co-owner of Markette, one of Manhattan’s most exciting new restaurants. Born and raised in West London, India has been cooking in professional kitchens since she was 15 and has built a remarkable career defined by ambition, grit, and deep respect for craft. After honing her skills in European fine dining kitchens and working closely with the late, beloved chef James Kent in New York, India is now stepping fully into her own with Markette—and its late-night cocktail bar downstairs, The Argyle.
India joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her journey from knocking on alley doors for a kitchen job as a teenager to opening her first restaurant in New York City. They discuss being one of the only women in professional kitchens early in her career, learning leadership and empathy from James Kent, and why staying humble is essential, no matter how much success comes your way. India also shares how sports shaped her competitive drive, why teamwork matters more than ego, and her mantra for young cooks.
