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)

Norm specializes in providing e-commerce and online marketing services for brands. He has worked with fortune 500 companies such as Coca-Cola, Mercedes-Benz, and 20th Century Fox since the early 1990s. Norm has focused on helping entrepreneurs optimize their operations and unlock their businesses potential. Presently, he is the host of the popular Amazon podcast lunch with Norm. So welcome to the show, Norm.Norm 00:00:32  Hey, glad to be here.Josh 00:00:33  So, Norm, I wanted to ask, you know, what are some of the best practices that you see with that? And maybe do you have any case studies or maybe some examples that you might be able to share with us, just to kind of spark some ideas in people's mind of the various opportunities that do lie in, you know, building your own audience off of Amazon from those insert cards.Norm 00:00:55  Well, and it's a good and bad story, but I know we were working with a beauty company who had built an email list up to 280,000 emails.Norm 00:01:08  Wow. But he would not. He never. He thought it was inconvenient. It would inconvenience people if he sent them emails.Josh 00:01:18  That doesn't make sense.Norm 00:01:19  280,000 emails. So yeah, that that that wasn't, that wasn't a smart move, but,Josh 00:01:27  Attracting. I mean, how did he attract 280,000 people to give him their email address? Right. Like, do you know what the offer was?Norm 00:01:36  Yeah. Well, different beauty products. So what it would be is you could go. You could go to the insert. It would go to a landing page. The landing page, would offer them one of his other products. So if you had the shampoo conditioner, you could have the, what's called keratin treatment, or you could have, there was, some serums and stuff like that, but you were offered a free product. So in the $10.Josh 00:02:06  In the insert card on the insert card, it says, hey, claim your free product I assume then yeah. Okay.Norm 00:02:13  Yeah. So all it did was send.Norm 00:02:16  He got the email address and the address because he had to send the product. So he had, he had it all and he did not and would not send out a single email.Josh 00:02:29  Fascinating. Yeah. Which is you know, going back you kind of shared that stat that you think that people are missing out on 40% of revenue just by not implementing, you know, additional as. Yeah. Right.Norm 00:02:43  You sell a million bucks, you're missing out a 400,000.Josh 00:02:46  Fascinating. Yeah. Any other stories or examples of, like, insert cards or, you know, ways that work to get people to provide their email address?Norm 00:02:56  Well, there's always the extended warranty. So that is something, again, going back to the knife company, extended warranty. So it's a lifetime warranty. Okay, great. That's a lifetime warranty anyway. Basically. But, you know, it's a lifetime warranty. another one was just like I was talking to you about before. A knife with the honing rod. Okay, great.Norm 00:03:20  another one that worked for that company was the meal plan and cookbook. So you can either download and get a weekly email. So what's in that weekly email with the weekly plan? Well, there's some sort of promotion. It wasn't all the time, but there was either just some recipes. So this is something that we did as well. We went out and we, talked to chefs and we talked to culinary schools, and we gave them, very expensive knife. And so the deal was we'll supply the whole class with these very expensive knives. if they provide us with a recipe and spread it out on their social media, tag us on their social media. So we got a ton of user generated content and we got a ton of Recipes. So what do we do on Amazon posts? We provided recipes. So that started to get a very unique following. And then because of that, we ended up getting all this really cool stuff that we could put onto this other page, fill in to the newsletter, and when people got their newsletter, they got recipes, which ended up being two full, really incredible recipe books.Norm 00:04:34  So now we give away the recipe books. But we could peel off one recipe at a time, which people enjoyed, you know? And we didn't do it, but you could have even segmented it further. If the person was vegan, you could just send them vegan recipes or vegetarian or, you ...

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're deep in the 1-to-2 kid transition and debating the question everyone has opinions on: is the biggest life shift going from 0–1 kids, 1–2 kids, or 2+ kids? We get into what actually feels different this time around, what we weirdly care less about, and why confidence the second time somehow still leads to reorganizing half the house (yes sorry we're still on this topic - WE HAVE UPDATES!)  We kick things off with a mommy & me dance class announcement (MELT), argue (bicker but not bicker of the week) about the best Olympic sport, and Harrison makes a strong case for why cookbooks deserve a comeback in 2026 (I feel like I'm still good with google???). Then we get into life with a 16-month-old who has officially become a food critic, the one grocery item we cannot keep stocked, and the recipes currently saving us (ps. COMMENT: Toddler friendly recipes - we are still ISO new ones to try please!!!!).  From there, we explain why we're ACTUALLY changing the kids' rooms (I guess we never told you guys lol), recap Tate's first night in her big girl room (shockingly smooth), and share what we're buying for the playroom (plus the one thing we're absolutely SKIPPING).  We also spiral into learning that moms can apparently catch their own babies (hard no for me), admit we've changed our minds on a former “must-have” product, and confirm that toddlers humble you daily (in general lol).  Naturally, we end with the important stuff: whether Zoom calls at coffee shops are socially acceptable, if treadmill miles count as real miles (will this be the new listening vs. reading??), why patterned couches might be an elite parenting hack, and whether admin nights are the future of adult friendships. Plus: mahjong with mom friends - and absolute MUST.  LOVE YOU GUYS (thank you for listening!!!!!)

Bri Books Top 5 Winter Recipe-Ready Cookbooks for 2026 Something From Nothing by Alison Roman -Alison Roman's latest cookbook invites us into the magic of pantry cooking, and turning store-cupboard staples like beans, olives, and pasta into deceptively simple but deeply satisfying meals. I love this book as both reading and as a reference for my home cooked winter meals. Made Here: Recipes & Reflections From NYC's Asian Communities - "Made Here" is a remarkable cookbook that goes beyond the typical what-to-make-recipes format to serve as a cultural document. Drawn from more than 40 restaurants representing 18+ Asian cuisines across New York City, "Made Here" celebrates community, heritage, and resilience. Proceeds support Send Chinatown Love's work with small businesses and community programs, underlining how food can nourish both body and community. New York Junior League 120th Anniversary Cookbook - As a member of the New York Junior League, I can tell you that gracious hosting is an art form. Part community artifact, part kitchen companion, this anniversary cookbook showcases the breadth of home cooking traditions within the New York Junior League community. One Pot Feeds All by Darina Allen  -While "One Pot Feeds All" spans a tradition of practical cooking rather than a single cuisine or era, its ethos resonates with cooks seeking simplicity without sacrificing flavor. Designed around meals that require minimal cleanup and maximum comfort, its recipes appeal to home cooks who want hearty meals from a single vessel. 5. Essentials of Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan No culinary library is complete without Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking. A unification of her earlier classic Italian texts, this book has long been revered as an indispensable guide to authentic Italian home cooking. Covering nearly every technique and staple from risotto to ragù to perfect pasta sauces, Hazan's work remains influential decades after its publication, teaching timeless fundamentals with clarity and passion.   If you're new to the show, leave a review of Bri Books on Apple Podcasts, and listen to Bri Books on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Please tell me where you're traveling to by using #bribooks on Instagram and subscribe to the Bri Books newsletter at bribookspod.com/newsletter.

Heidrun Metzler, the acclaimed author of the National Indie Excellence Award-winning German Heritage Baking, Volume I, shares her unique journey from Oberursel, Germany, to a macadamia nut farm in Hawaii. This interview provides deep insight into her commitment to preserving Old-World baking traditions and making them accessible to modern home bakers. From Bavaria to the Big Island: Adapting Tradition Heidrun discussed the profound cultural and climatic shift of moving from Germany to a farm in Hawaii. Influence on Baking: The tropical climate and local ingredients required careful adaptation of her traditional recipes. This challenge ensured that the techniques remained authentic while the final product worked perfectly in a modern, non-European kitchen setting. More Than Just Sugar: The Secret to Authentic German Flavor Heidrun explains that the essence of authentic German baking is that it is "less sweet, more flavorful." The Difference: German baking relies on ingredients for flavor depth (like quality vanilla, spices, and nuts) rather than just sugar. Common Mistake: The biggest mistake American bakers make is adding too much sugar to recipes, which masks the rich, complex flavors that define German desserts. The Secret: Achieving that rich, balanced taste involves precision and trust in the quality of the primary ingredients. The Baking "Labor of Love" and Connection Heidrun revealed that her book was a "labor of love" over ten years in the making. Biggest Challenge: The sheer scope of research and meticulous testing to ensure historical accuracy and modern kitchen success was the greatest hurdle. Motivation: Her motivation was driven by the desire for "connection, tradition, and sharing joy," embodied by a heartfelt childhood memory of her family kitchen—a place where recipes were passed down not just as instructions, but as acts of love. The Accidental Equestrian: Precision and Discipline Heidrun's seemingly disparate passions—baking and her life as an accomplished equestrian and trick horse trainer—are actually connected. Shared Discipline: Both activities demand extraordinary precision and patience. The discipline required to train a horse to perform complex movements mirrors the exactness needed in from-scratch baking to achieve a perfect result. The two worlds reinforce the importance of meticulous technique. The Baking Secret Weapon For a home baker starting their German baking journey, Heidrun offers practical advice: Secret Technique/Tool: She suggests focusing on the proper use of a kitchen scale for precise measurements, moving away from volume-based cups. Recommended Starter Recipe: She recommends beginning with one of the simpler yet rewarding recipes, such as a classic German Butterkuchen (Butter Cake). Preserving Heritage for a New Generation Heidrun emphasized that in an age of instant gratification, preserving these time-honored baking traditions is more vital than ever. They are not just recipes; they are culinary history, connecting the present generation to their roots and family stories through the shared experience of baking. Web: https://heidrunmetzler.com/ About: Heidrun is a lifelong, authentic baker with deep roots in German tradition. Raised in Oberursel, Germany, she grew up immersed in the flavors and techniques of her mother's, aunt's, and grandmother's kitchens. Her passion is dedicated to preserving heritage recipes and teaching others the art of from-scratch baking with clarity, warmth, and joy. Style: Heidrun's instructional method is easy-to-follow, honed through countless informal lessons shared with American family and friends, making old-world baking approachable for today's home bakers. Award-Winning Cookbook Author Heidrun is the acclaimed author of the successful German Heritage Baking series: Debut Book: German Heritage Baking, Volume I Accolades: Recognized with multiple honors, including the National Indie Excellence Award and the American Legacy Book Award. These awards underscore her dedication to quality and authenticity in baking. Companion Volume: German Heritage Baking, Volume II is anticipated for publication in 2026. Life in Hawaii and Hobbies Heidrun currently resides with her husband on a farm in Hawaii. Beyond the kitchen, her passions include: Spending time with her horses. Creating photos and videos of her horses and the German desserts she bakes. A love for art and writing.

Molly, Kate, Kristin and Andrea get together to discuss the new trend towards entertaining cookbooks; what they are, what they need and what problem they can solve. The hosts discuss some standouts, how they personally use them and what they hope to see in future iterations. While this genre can tend towards the aspirational, there are a few on the market that highlight the more practical aspects of hosting and attending get-togethers. After asking what the confluence of these books means about us post-pandemic, they talk about sub-genres, the re-release of a classic and if they'd be interested in writing one of their own. Finally they share a few of the dishes they're planning to make for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella Mentions Join The Local Palate Cookbook ClubJenna Helwig Cookbook wrap upMartha Stewart Transformed the Dinner Party.

Chef Stu is joined by Jenny Blaze from Bravo & Blaze for a wildly entertaining breakdown of everything happening across the Bravo universe. The two dive into the chaos following BravoCon, the fallout from the RHOC reunion, and why the cast's treatment of Katie is raising eyebrows among fans. They unpack the latest Housewives legal drama — from Jen Shah's early release to Mia Thornton's arrest and Erika Jayne's ongoing PPP situation — plus rumors surrounding Wendy and Eddie Osefo, Mary Cosby's son, and more. Stu and Jenny also get into the new season of Southern Charm, preview the upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episodes (including Rachel Zoe's standout entrance), and touch on Salt Lake City fan reactions and tequila chatter. Along the way, Stu shares his BravoCon wallet saga, they laugh about Apple's viral “iPhone pocket,” and reflect on the state of the franchises and what's working — and what absolutely isn't. It's messy, it's hilarious, and it's everything Bravo fans live for.

Today we're welcoming Stephanie Hansen, a four-time Emmy Award-winning television host, longtime radio personality, and author of "The True North Cabin Cookbook" volumes one and two. But what makes Stephanie's story particularly compelling for our cabin community is her raw honesty about what cabin ownership really means—including the moment she admits that the family's island cabin in Ely, Minnesota is what kept her in her marriage during the hardest years. "I would always think in the depths of the marriage not being awesome, two things. One was I still really like this man. And the second thing was... I don't know if I can ever not have my cabin."This isn't a polished story about picture-perfect family weekends. Stephanie talks candidly about the tension between being "cabin people" and "non-cabin people," the sacrifices required when you commit to cabin life (like her daughter never being able to play summer sports), and how the cabin became the place where three generations learned to coexist—from her 92-year-old mother-in-law to their daughter who grew up to become a serious canoer and Arctic expedition guide. What started as a cocktail waitress meeting her new boss evolved into a 32-year marriage anchored by this historic family place. The conversation takes an unexpected turn into food and storytelling when Stephanie shares how she turned family recipes into two published cookbooks—not fancy chef recipes, but the kind of food that makes people say "this is what cabin tastes like." We talk about legendary potato salads, why she's "almost embarrassed" by how simple some recipes are, and how reading cookbooks in bed at night is her version of literature. She also reveals the essential cabin kitchen items every host should have (spoiler: you need a big wooden salad bowl and cast iron you're not afraid to let guests use). Beyond the recipes and nostalgia, Stephanie offers sharp observations about the changing dynamics of cabin culture—the tension between long-time cabin owners and short-term renters, the economic reality that cabin ownership usually requires money, and her plea for democratizing access to nature. She champions the idea that "cabin can be a tent, cabin can be a car" and encourages people to find their own version of getting outside, even if it's not the million-dollar lakefront property. Whether you're someone who grew up at a family cabin and feels that bone-deep connection, you're trying to figure out if cabin life is right for you, or you simply want to understand why food and place are so deeply intertwined in cabin culture, this conversation offers both the romance and the reality of what it means to truly be cabin people.Instagram: @stephaniesdish                     @tastebudswithstephanie                     @dishingwithstephaniesdish                     @weeklydishmnYouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@stephaniesdishWhere to Order her Cookbook: https://www.stephaniesdish.com/cookbooks/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacbwXwauAaf4uYWXso8PAwKMya-_L-LLjGziS_I_CIlOvZ8aGFlCi2ENhl17A_aem_KB0i4K-bs_tby2pEjnDpQwInstagram: @cozyrockcabin Cozy Rock Cabin: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311027Cozy Camp Sebec: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311051 Cozy Rock Website: http://www.staycozycabin.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_FgMwAgvORd1IwlH1nlC9g
