Summary
New York Times bestselling author Jenny Mollen talks with Zibby about her new cookbook, Dictator Lunches, which grew out of the popular Instagram where she shares the lunches she prepares for her children. The two discuss their kids' eating habits, hacks to make lunches more interesting without making them more complicated, and why food is Jenny's love language. Jenny also shares the main ways working on a cookbook differed from working on her memoirs and novel, and what she'd consider writing next.
