I’ll walk you through the daily and weekly routines that helped me stay connected to my goal, even in the midst of a busy life.

Steph is the deputy food editor for America’s Test Kitchen’s books team and culinary producer of the Cook's Country TV show. She attended the New England Culinary Institute and is most at peace when she's in the middle of a good baking project. For our episode today we talk all about ATK’s new book: Baking for Two. ATK takes the guesswork out of baking on a smaller scale by reengineering all your favorite baked goods. Steph explains the testing that went into baking small-scale recipes, how to turn your freezer into a treat factory, and the wide variety of sweet and savory baked goods that this new book allows home bakers to bake for two.  Things We Mention In This Episode: Download a copy of the Art of Cookbook Creation checklist @pixleypics on Instagram America’s Test Kitchen Baking for Two Six Seasons

    You Got This! Feeding People, Writing Cookbooks, and Staying Real with Diane Morrisey

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today on the podcast I’m excited to have an interview with Diane Morrisey.  Diane Morrisey is the founder of @DianeMorrisey on Instagram. She is known for her acute sense of encouragement and humor and her easy and innovative recipes that come with a big side of “you got this” encouragement. A former caterer, Diane was also an executive at Whole Foods where she oversaw the prepared foods business and overall operations for stores in New York and Connecticut. In other words, she knows what people want to eat—and what they can cook in the short window most of us have to get dinner on the table. She lives in Connecticut, with her husband and whichever of her six children happens to be home for dinner. You Got This! is her first cookbook. Today on the show we talk about the emotional side of feeding people and being fed, Diane’s journey to writing a cookbook, and Diane’s tips for choosing what to cook for supper based on the mood the cook is in.  Things We Mention In This Episode: Connect with @dianemorrisey on Instagram You Got This: Recipes Anyone Can Make and Everyone Will Love Download a copy of the Art of Cookbook Creation checklist

    Episode 342: Leaning into Farm Life with Kaleb Wyse of Wyse Guide

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today on the podcast I’m excited to have an interview with Kaleb Wyse. Kaleb is the creator of Wyse Guide and the author of the new cookbook There’s Always Room at the Table. When Kaleb Wyse started documenting his daily life on his farm in Iowa, he didn’t think many people would take notice or even care. After all, his way of life is simple, guided by the seasons—he spends his days gardening, preserving, baking, and cooking, a rhythm not all that different from that of his parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents who worked the land before him. But it turns out that people from all over the country connected with Kaleb’s simple, back-to-basics way of living, and fell in love with his hearty, homestyle cooking. From casseroles to biscuits, his recipes hit the sweet spot of nostalgia for some—and are a breath of fresh air for others. Today on the show we’re here to visit with Kaleb, learn all about his journey first on social media, leaning in to his life in south-east Iowa on his family’s farm, and then his journey to writing and publishing his first cookbook.  Things We Mention In This Episode: Connect with Kaleb Wyse at Wyse Guide There’s Always Room at the Table  Receive a free copy of the Art of Cookbook Creation checklist

    How to Be the Cookbook Author You Want to Be

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast. As I work on my next cookbook proposal, one thing that keeps coming up is that I am embarking on the long-game of cookbook publishing. From idea to a finished book, traditional publishing takes at least 18 - 24 months. That means the cookbook won't be "in my hands" for quite a while. How do you sustain the journey to a traditionally published book? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.  Things We Mention In This Episode: Build your Cookbook Author Platform Receive a free copy of the Art of Cookbook Creation checklist

    Writing a Cookbook They’re Hungry For

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast. March is birthday month here at our house and gift giving is on my mind. I love to give gifts to celebrate birthdays, especially gifts that my people want and are excited to receive. This makes me think about classes we teach and books we write and how to give people what they’re hungry for instead of overthinking and creating something that they won’t want or need.  Things We Mention In This Episode: Receive a copy of the Art of Cookbook Creation checklist
