This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Maxine McCrann to talk about her work on By Heart — including the now-iconic cover — and what it's like to build visual language for a cookbook versus other forms of commercial work. We dig into the slower, more intimate rhythm of cookbook making, how trust and authorship shape creative decisions, and what changes when an image is meant to live with a reader over time rather than circulate quickly.Mentioned in this episode:• The Newlywed Table• One-Bowl Meals• Boards, Platters, Plates• Cook Color• The Hostess Handbook• Sunday Suppers at Lucques by Suzanne Goin• Tartine by Liz Prueitt and Chad Robertson• Yotam Ottolenghi (all books)• Baking and the Meaning of Life by Helen Goh• Sift by Nicola Lamb• A Thousand Feasts by Nigel Slater• Acme Bread Company• I Love You by Pamela Anderson and Maria Zizka• Panadería Rosetta• Chez Panisse cookbooks• Cooking by Hand by Paul Bertolli• Deborah Madison (all books)

Somali cuisine is a mixture of many traditions, from meat prepared according to nomadic customs, to a spice mix made possible by medieval Indian Ocean trade routes. There are even pasta dishes, owing to Italian colonization until 1960 – and you'll often find a banana served on the side. Ifrah F. Ahmed has made it her mission to document and preserve the food of Somalia in her new cookbook, Soomaaliya: Food, Memory and Migration. At a time when Somali and Somali-American culture is under threat, Ifrah's work feels especially important. Somali culture prizes its oral tradition, but Ifrah has decided to write it all down: the history, the recipes, and her own story. This week, Dan visits Ifrah in her kitchen as she makes an iftar meal for Ramadan, and he tries his hand at making sambuus (a deep-fried meat dumpling).

Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Most people think the outcome of writing a cookbook is the finished book, but I've seen something much bigger happen along the way. In this episode, I explore what really happens when we choose a meaningful creative challenge like writing a cookbook. Many cookbook writers I work with are already successful professionals: chefs, dietitians, coaches, and entrepreneurs who decide to write a book not because they have to, but because the work matters to them. I share the unexpected benefits I've seen from writing a cookbook, including identity shifts, creative discipline, professional credibility, community, and new opportunities. In this episode, I talk about: • Why writing a cookbook is a chosen challenge • How creative projects activate your agency and identity • Why hard work doesn't have to feel miserable • The deeper benefits that come from finishing a creative project Whether you're writing a cookbook, building a food business, or starting another creative project, this episode will help you see the deeper transformation that can happen when you commit to creating something meaningful. If you want to get paid to write a cookbook, join our waitlist for the next cohort of Cookbooks on KDP.

A new mishnah! With basic directions as to how to make and shape the grain-offerings, with a clear prohibition against "chametz"/leaven, except for 2 specific grain-offerings. Including the source from the Torah to prohibit leaven from the altar. Plus, does each act with offering count as a prohibition (kneading, shaping, baking) or just as one? It's a case of a generalization and a specification, followed by a general case again. The specific statement therefore comes to teach something about the general statement. Note that proximity in the original text matters.

Many aspiring cookbook authors believe they need to finish writing their book before pitching it to publishers. It sounds logical — but it often leads to years of uncertainty, backtracking, and stalled momentum. In this episode, Maggie explains why traditional cookbook publishing is a process, not a guessing game, and how clarity — not a finished manuscript — is what leads to a book deal and an advance. You'll learn: • why publishers buy concepts, positioning, and authors — not finished manuscripts • how lack of clarity creates hesitation for agents and editors • the hidden trap of writing first and pitching later • what it means to become a deal-ready cookbook author • the three essentials needed to pursue a traditional cookbook deal If you've been thinking, "I'll finish the book and figure out publishing later," this episode will help you see a clearer path forward.

Megan chats with Amy Reid about self publishing a cookbook, choosing the right timing, and building a profitable income stream outside of ad revenue. Amy Reid is the voice-behind and creator-of Baking with Granny. The daughter of a professional baker, Amy grew up in a house which was filled with cakes & bakes. Once her own two children came along (and her mother became "Granny"), it was suddenly obvious that many of their family recipes would be lost in time, if not written down now. And Baking with Granny was born! Amy now takes recipes from years gone by and transforms them into easy home baking recipes that people around the world can make and enjoy. If writing a cookbook has been sitting on your someday list, this episode might be the push you need. Amy Reid from Baking With Granny shares exactly how she self published her first cookbook, why she chose that route, and what it really took to make it profitable. This is a practical, honest look at cookbook creation for food bloggers who want more control and more stability. Key Topics Discussed: - The right time is when your business can support the focus: You do not need perfect conditions, but you do need margin. - Self publishing gives you full creative and financial control: From photography to pricing, every decision stays in your hands. - Pre orders validate demand before you spend big money: Selling first reduced risk and confirmed the book was wanted. - Large scale recipe testing builds confidence and credibility: Hundreds of testers removed guesswork and strengthened the final product. - You can combine hardcover printing with print on demand: This balances profit, accessibility, and global shipping. - Cookbook sales can meaningfully diversify income: This was not a passion project. It was a profitable business move. Guest Details Connect with Amy Reid Website | Instagram
