Do You Want To Write A Cookbook?

Maggie — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:58:38 +0000

Have you ever heard that still, small voice inside whisper, “You ought to write a cookbook”?

If you pay attention to that voice you may answer, “Sure, I’d love to write a cookbook, but I don’t have a clue where to begin? Or perhaps you say,

I don’t know how to write a cookbook.
I’m not an English major or a culinary expert.
I don’t know how to combine my expertise with the craft of cooking.
I don’t know how to navigate the publishing industry.
It all seems so daunting.
I don’t know how to sell a cookbook.
I’m not a Food Network star.
……and all sorts of other doubts you may have.

If your response resonates with these I encourage you to join my free teleclass for aspiring cookbook writers:

“Cook-books have always intrigued and seduced me. When I was still a dilettante in the kitchen they held my attention, even the dull ones, from cover to cover, the way crime and murder stories did.”
‘The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book’ (1954)

Thanksgiving Help Lines

Maggie — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 18:02:52 +0000

My countertops are covered with sweet potatoes, oranges, Yukon Gold potatoes, apples, and there’s a bag of cranberries in the refrigerator. This year we’re going to my mom’s house for Thanksgiving. I plan to bake a batch of my grandmother’s soft yeast rolls. What are your Thanksgiving specialities?

If you run into trouble in your kitchen this week, some of these phone numbers and websites might help. If I may give you my two cents: Thanksgiving is not a consumer-driven, gift-filled day, it’s about sharing a meal, plain and simple. Fill the day with some good food, good drink, and have a good time.
