Episode 33 l Interview with Cookbook Collector and Literary Agent Maria Ribas

Welcome back to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast, today I am excited to share an interview with Maria Ribas. Maria is a true cookbook lover. She not only collects cookbooks, and uses cookbooks at home when she cooks, but she also works as a literary agent at Stonesong Literary Agency. At Stonesong, Maria represents authors to publishers, including her favorite genre, cookbook authors. Today on the podcast we discuss the process of acquiring cookbook titles: first, where publishers scout for authors on a particular topic VS authors sending in proposals for their cookbook ideas. We also discuss what’s on the horizon for cookbook trends, and her view of just how large a food writer’s platform needs to be for consideration of publication at a large publishing house. At home, and due to space limitations, Maria carefully curates her cookbook collection. She loves books that “take [her] away”  with beautiful photography and writing, and equally as many cookbooks that offer time in the kitchen as a time to relax, or quiet yourself, rather than seeing cooking as one more chore to get done.

Episode 34 l A Look Back at Illustrated Cookbooks

Welcome back to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Today’s topic is an offshoot of my episode last week with Literary Agent Maria Ribas. We talked about upcoming trends in cookbooks, and Maria mentioned illustrations. It’s hard to imagine that illustrations will replace photography, but in this episode, I take a look back to illustrated and hand-lettered cookbooks in my collection. My review of these books led me to the discovery that illustrations serve many purposes in cookbooks:  design, instruction of step-by-step processes, identification if ingredients or equipment, or in the case of To The Kings Taste, illustrations that displayed elaborate scenes of medieval dinners and kitchen tasks (such as stomping grapes, or churning butter) created from woodcuts.

Episode 118: Steps to Write a Cookbook and Get it Published

Welcome to another episode of the podcast, I’m excited to be here today to talk to any food & nutrition expert, expert baker, expert cook, restaurant or bakery owner, personal chef, caterer, or anyone who has recipes, stories, and solutions to share. 

I believe that a print cookbook is the most portable and profitable way to share your recipes, stories, and solutions. A print cookbook is a beautiful marketing tool for your business and an effective  business card for yourself. 

Listen in as we discuss how to get started, different paths to publication, what you need to do to approach a traditional publisher, what happens after you sign a contract with a publisher, and then how cookbook writers get paid for their books.
