Molly and Kristin speak about merging the physical act of cooking with emotional and spiritual intentionality with Nicki Sizemore, the author of Mind, Body, Spirit, Food. Nicki shares her personal journey and the life changing process she went through that eventually led to this new focus. Battling creative burnout and the uninspired work of writing for the algorithm, Nicki learned to tune into her body, prioritize pleasure and get creative which eventually transformed her blog into a newsletter, podcast and this book. She talks about the thought behind its specific release date, the innovative recipe variations, mindful intentions, design and photography process and her aversion to the word 'wellness'. She then discusses her thoughts on audience outreach, promotion, the power of intentionality and the ripple effect of nourishment before leaving us with some advice.Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella MentionsNicki SizemoreSubstackBlogPodcastInstagram Storey PublishingThese Cookbooks Explore the Link Between Mindful Cooking and Self-Care by Jamie Feldmar Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showMind, Body, Spirit, Food, by Nicki SizemoreBuild-A-Bowl, by Nicki SizemoreFresh Flavors for the Slow Cooker, by Nicki Sizemore

This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose steps out and Crystal sits down with Tara Punzone, co-author of Vegana Italiana, to talk about writing plant-based cookbooks for specific audiences and finding your niche— and getting the message across without losing warmth, culture, or credibility. We discuss how tradition can be translated rather than erased, what it means to serve a niche reader thoughtfully, and how clarity of purpose shapes everything from recipe development to tone, structure, and outreach. It's a conversation about plant-based food as a language, and about meeting readers exactly where they are.Mentioned in this episode:• Vegana Italiana: Traditional Italian the Plant-Based Way by Tara Punzone and Gene Stone• Pura Vita• Gene Stone (books)• The Engine 2 Cookbook by Rip Esselstyn• Ed Anderson (photography)

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

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Do this, no, do that. Coffee is bad. Coffee is good. Do these three things. Take these medications or else. It is no wonder that people just turn a blind ear and do nothing. When you finally have hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, or dementia, the treatments are aimed only at the symptoms instead of the root cause. When it comes to pain, people may think that is not such a bad thing because we do have pain medications that work well for short periods of time then cause havoc with side effects, tolerances and addiction. The best plan of action is to stay healthy through sunlight, diet, and exercise. I am going to address each of these today and probably every podcast because the list is endless on how you can keep yourself healthy. In today's episode: Hormone replacement for women: stay away, I'll tell you why Congestive heart failure: it is not a death sentence and does not have to be treated with a pharmacy of expensive medications. Dementia: prevent it through lifestyle changes now. Diet matters and plants alone may not do the job. Exercise: move all the ways and often. I'll tell you more. Thank your for listening.

Kristin and Kate get the inside scoop on all things marketing and publicity as they speak to the 'dream team' who worked on Kristin's recent book Turtle Island. Brianne Sperber and Felix Cruz — associate director of marketing for Clarkson Potter and Ten Speed Press and publicist for the same— discuss their specific roles and approaches to cookbook promotion. They touch on the differences between marketing and publicity, the role events have in promoting a book and share a peek behind the curtain at the decisions, meetings, timeline and teams that go into a project. They share invaluable insights into their thought process, what authors can contribute to a campaign and how they hope to work with them throughout the long game and moment to moment demands of a media blitz. They speak about tailoring messaging to an audience, the cheerleading role they often play and how they approach a collaborative relationship with all the moving parts involved in a book's life span.Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella MentionsSean Sherman on Daily ShowEpisode 36: Celebrating Colombia with Mariana VelásquezLink in Bio substack Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showTurtle Island, by Sean Sherman.

You first heard Katie Parla on our show a couple years ago when we recorded a live episode at Omnivore Books (hi Celia!) in San Francisco to discuss her then-newest cookbook, Food of the Italian Islands. [Listen to that chat here.] Now, Katie's back with her 11th cookbook and it's a deep-dive into Roman history and cuisine. Born in New Jersey, Katie has called Rome home for more than two decades and she's been obsessed with uncovering the city's culinary—and non-culinary—history the whole time. She's written culinary guides, hosted TV shows and podcasts, showed folks like Stanley Tucci and Andrew Zimmern where to eat in Rome, and built a tour company. This new book distills much of what she's researched—and ate—into a 350+ page opus titled Rome: A Culinary History, Cookbook, and Field Guide to Flavors that Built a City. Part guide book, part history book, part cookbook—this is a love letter to the city that's been feeding people for over 2,700 years.Late last year, I met up with Katie for an evening tour of Trastevere. What struck my most about our conversation is how Katie approaches Roman food as not a static collection of recipes, but very much a living and evolving story that reflects everything the city has been through: ancient empire, Renaissance opulence, cucina povera, Jewish ghetto traditions, modern immigration, and more.--Additional Music Credits:Beat Mekanik - Stylin' (FreeMusicArchive) This is a public episode.

Welcome, Encouragers, to a NEW year and a BRAND NEW series on the Be Encouraged! Podcast. I'm your host, Jackie Brindle, and I am so excited to step into this next season with you as we begin the Achieve series.Over the past seasons, we have listened to powerful testimonies, biblical truth, expert insight, and real, authentic life experiences—all pointing us toward deeper belief in who God is and who we are in Him. We've talked about receiving all that God has for us as we build a daily foundation of belief, keeping Jesus at the center of our journey. Each day, God offers us gifts to receive when our hearts remain anchored in Him.Now, we turn our focus to the word “achieve.” Not achievement as the world defines it, but achieving God's purposes for our lives. Achieve is a reminder to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus as we walk into the plans He has already purposed for us, just as Ephesians 1:11 tells us. This series is about living with intention, obedience, and trust—allowing God's will to unfold in both everyday moments and milestone seasons.Throughout the Achieve series, we'll unpack meaningful conversations around what people have achieved, the obstacles that stand in the way, and how we can maintain an eternal perspective when life pulls us toward pressure, comparison, or control. We'll talk honestly about what it looks like to fix our eyes on the One who formed us, guiding our steps with His purpose and peace.Season 3, Episode 1 is all about peace over perfectionism. This is an obstacle I know all too well—sometimes facing it multiple times in a single day. That tension between not wanting to return to patterns we know don't work, yet striving so hard to get everything just right, only to find ourselves circling the same mountain again. The lesson is often a hard one: controlling all the pieces never brings the peace we're searching for.I am so grateful to welcome Heather O'Brien to the show. Heather is a licensed minister with a heart for helping others heal with God—whether from anxiety, perfectionism, addiction, or any negative cycle that requires both heart work and holy work. You may already know her from her podcast, "Heal with God: Find God's Peace by Hearing His Voice," read her book called, " Author of No Fear Allowed, Supernatural Weight Loss, & But How? A Cookbook for Christian Solutions", or through her coaching ministry. And if you don't know her yet, she may soon become a familiar and trusted voice in your home.Heather brings a wave of strong, gentle wisdom and encouragement to this conversation! Heather reminds us that peace is the goal, that “good” can sometimes truly be good enough, and that each of us can learn to hear God's voice for ourselves. When we do, healing follows—and so does that deep, steady peace we all long for. I can't promise it will happen overnight, but I can promise that God, who gives peace in the obstacles that aren't so perfect, will be with you! I can't wait for you to listen and to achieve all that God has chosen and purposed you to do -today and every day! Be encouraged!!

In today's episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Michael P. Foley, Catholic theologian, professor, and author of Abstaining with the Saints. Michael is best known for his beloved Drinking with the Saints series, and in this new book, he turns his attention to alcohol-free celebrations that are just as meaningful, festive, and rooted in the liturgical year. Abstaining with the Saints offers nearly 200 thoughtfully crafted mocktail recipes, along with alcohol-free beer, wine, and spirit suggestions that align with Catholic feast days and seasons. Each recipe is paired with stories and facts about the saints, creating a joyful way to honor the Church calendar without alcohol. In our conversation, we explore: Why Michael felt called to create a non-alcoholic companion to Drinking with the Saints How mocktails can support sober, "soberish," and alcohol-free lifestyles The role of saints and celebration in Catholic life How food and drink can deepen our connection to family, faith, tradition, and community Who this book is for, and how it can serve families, parishes, and individuals alike Things We Mention In This Episode: Abstaining with the Saints The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook
Food isn't just food anymore — it's guilt, pressure, decision fatigue, and a never-ending group project you didn't sign up for. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Jenn Lueke (Jen Eats Good) to talk about meal planning, meal prep, grocery shopping on a budget, and how to stop feeding your family like it's your unpaid side hustle. Jenn breaks down a simple, realistic system that helps you waste less food, spend less money, and reclaim your weeknights — without turning Sunday into a six-hour kitchen hostage situation or expecting Pinterest-level perfection. In this episode, we cover: Jenn's meal planning framework (high-level): Why most women have a complicated relationship with food (and why it's not a personal failing) How to meal plan in 20–30 minutes and save yourself hours of midweek chaos The pantry–fridge–freezer inventory that stops you from buying your 18th jar of salsa “Partial prep” for people who hate meal prep Component cooking so you don't hate your lunches by Wednesday Low-stress strategies for picky eaters How to actually use a cookbook instead of admiring it like kitchen décor Friday: Inventory + pick meals + grocery list Weekend: Grocery run + 30–90 minutes of prep Weeknights: Less thinking, more eating Because when dinner stops requiring constant brainpower, you get your time, energy, and patience back. And that's the real win — not perfection, just a system that works for your life instead of draining it. Thank you to our sponsors!

Molly and Andrea speak with the iconic culinary historian Dr. Jessica B. Harris about her career and newest work, Braided Heritage. After discussing the 'more' than recipes that make a cookbook a cookbook, Dr. Harris also shares why this book is important at this point and what interested her about this topic and format. She speaks about the backbeat that motivated the entire project, how she went about commissioning stories and recipes from other people and why each genre she writes in requires her to wear a different hat. She talks about the long process of the book's creation, how her experience in academia informed it, the advice she has for future generations and her thoughts on being labeled an 'activist'.Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella Mentions Jessica HarrisInstagramHigh on the Hog Netflix Show Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showBraided Heritage by Jessica HarrisHigh on the Hog by Jessica HarrisA Kwanzaa Keepsake and Cookbook by Jessica HarrisIron Pots & Wooden Spoons by Jessica Harrismore Jessica Harris titles here
What happens when food becomes a blueprint for liberation? On this episode of All My Relations, we're joined by Chef Sean Sherman (Oglala Lakota) and journalist/co-author Kate Nelson (Tlingit) to talk about Turtle Island—a cookbook, a history lesson, and a future-facing manifesto for Indigenous food sovereignty. We get into what it means to remove colonial borders (and colonial ingredients), why Indigenous foodways are global and relational, and how Sean's nonprofit model is moving real resources back into Indigenous communities—from Native producers to Native jobs. Along the way: moose stew, fir tips, colonized palates, seed keepers, Buffalo Bird Woman's garden, and a clear-eyed conversation about ICE, labor, and who actually feeds this country. Food is the entry point—but sovereignty is the goal. Just change everything. Feed your people.++++ResourcesPurchase Turtle Island Today: https://shoptidelands.com/products/books-whereas-copy?variant=47505083924728 To learn about Sean's work and North American Traditional Food Systemshttps://natifs.org/ https://seansherman.com/ Kate's Work: https://www.kateanelson.com/ Esquire Article: https://www.esquire.com/food-drink/restaurants/a36474711/chef-sean-sherman-owamni-indigenous-minneapolis-restaurant-profile/ Text us your thoughts!Support the showFollow us on Instagram @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Russ & Daughters opened in 1914 and is one of the last remaining “appetizing stores” in New York City. The shop – which the owners say is not a deli – is famous for its bagels and lox, among other classic Jewish foods. Now, the Russ family is out with a cookbook that includes history, recipes and musings from the last century. In today's episode, NPR's Scott Simon visits Russ & Daughters, where he finds the shop brimming with smoked salmon, whitefish salad, chubs, trout, sable, sturgeon and more.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
