Welcome back to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast! Today I’m talking about something I hear all the time, from people who visit my table at events and from readers on my own email list: the belief that there are already too many cookbooks. I went through a season where I believed this myself. I really did not think there was a need for any more cookbooks, mine included. If that thought has ever crossed your mind, I want you to know you are not alone, and I want to tell you why I no longer believe it.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why nobody ever says there are too many romance novels, cozy mysteries, or business books, and what that tells us about the “too many cookbooks” complaint
  • The one truth about food that means a cookbook can never stop mattering: every single person alive needs to eat
  • Why your perspective on a subject is worth just as much as the hundred other people who wrote about it first
  • Why there is not too many cookbooks, but the perfect number, with always room for more

If this episode has you thinking differently about the story you’ve been telling yourself about why you haven’t started, get on my email list for free training on cookbook writing.
