Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Today I’m excited to talk to you about cookbooks from “a place”.

Episode 55: 3 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Wrote My Cookbooks

September 19, 2019 10:34 - 13 minutes - 12.4 MB

Writing a cookbook demands a lot of time and energy. You work hard, you write your manuscript, and then after months of editing, design, and production your book lands in your hand. There's not much else like it in the world, with the exception of delivering a baby. Some people even refer to writing a book as a gestation time and then say they've given "birth" to a book.  So what do I wish someone had told me before I wrote my cookbook:  There will be mistakes in the cookbook. Somewhere, ...

Episode 47: The Cost of Writing a Cookbook

July 25, 2019 04:00 - 23 minutes - 22.2 MB

Welcome back to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Today we are talking about the Cost of Writing a Cookbook. One of the objections people often have to writing a cookbook is the cost (or money). Truth be told, as a traditionally published cookbook author, I incurred very few direct costs when I wrote my cookbooks. In fact, publishers paid me an advance and royalties when my advance earned out. And, my students who self-publish their books did incur costs of publishing, so today I...

They have the ab...

June 20, 2019 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

Publishing is the business of preparing books for sale. The b...

April 11, 2019 04:00 - 15 minutes - 14.2 MB

Today on the podcast I share my thoughts on selling cookbooks, and even more than that with it takes to write and sell a cookbook. Behind every cookbook we own, read, write, or cook from there is a writer. A writer who has a message to share. In order to become a cookbook author, they had to become a cookbook writer first. And I see that there are a few hurdles this writer has to jump before they have a finished book. So, today, we’ll talk about these four hurdles, what they are and how we c...

Episode 26: Do Cookbooks Need Stories?

February 28, 2019 05:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

Hello and welcome back to another Episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast and today I am talking about cookbook stories.

Episode 11: Take a Look at Recipe Writing Style

November 15, 2018 05:00 - 15 minutes - 14.3 MB

A basic list of ingredients is not copyright protected. (This is why Coca-Cola and KFC don’t share the ingredient list in their products.) That said, a writer’s expression of the list of ingredients as set forth in a recipe or a recipe collection (in a cookbook) is most often copyright protected. When a cookbook author writes a book, they have the privilege to determine their own recipe writing style. This style fits the author and communicates to the cook, consistently, what they are trying...
