Summary

#11: In this episode, my dear friend, Liz Moody sat down to interview me on the cookbook writing process. We chat about everything that had to do with creating my first cookbook, Just the Good Stuff, which is officially out in the universe! I share the steps to landing a book deal starting with finding an agent, writing the proposal, finding a publisher that worked for my dream book, and then we dive into the actual recipe creation process. We also talk about how I didn't have a book title until just before pre-order, what I really wanted to have on the cover (spoiler alert: it isn't what I originally envisioned), and all the details on the photoshoot for my cookbook. The evolution of my business and where I see it going in the future and expanding my team. Liz has an exciting prediction on where my business will go as well. We also dive into a bit more on why I cook with the ingredients I do, my overall perceptive on food and eating in general. Just the Good Stuff has officially LAUNCHED. I will be headed out on my cookbook tour starting in NYC then LA, Austin, West Palm Beach, Nashville and Chicago. Follow along over on @rachLmansfield and visit my blog for the latest cookbook scoop. The entire book is gluten-free and there are tons of dairy-free, paleo, plant-based and nut-free recipes. Thank you so much to the lovely Liz Moody for taking the time to interview me for JTGS. Please follow Liz over @lizmoody, subscribe to her podcast and order her two amazing cookbooks!

0:34.6	I wanted to kind of backtrack a little bit. You know, you hear that someone's writing a
0:40.0	cookbook. You hear that their cookbooks coming out. And I thought that it would be really fun to
0:45.4	dive into the backstory of how this cookbook really came about and what the process was like for
0:51.9	me and landing a cookbook deal, the photo shoe,
0:55.5	getting an agent, planning the tour, the recipes, and just really diving into the details

1:12.5	Healthier Together on the podcast. And she's also a cookbook author of two-time cookbook author

1:24.8	to Hoboken to interview me for this episode. And as a cookbook author
1:29.9	professional herself, I thought it would be so great to have her come back on. And then I got all
