Paula Forbes is a freelance food and restaurant writer based in Austin, Texas. She reviewed cookbooks for over ten years, for such outlets as Lucky Peach, Eater, Epicurious, and Food52. Stained Page News is her cookbook newsletter that includes information about the latest cookbook releases, book deals, sample recipes, trends, and more. Enjoy this interview as we discuss what Paula takes into considerations when she reviews cookbooks, and what in her opinion are her favorite parts of a cookbook. We also talk about Paula’s cookbook, The Austin Cookbook: Recipes and Stories from Deep in the Heart of Texas, published by Abrams.
