Michael. Simon: What’s more important than recipes is how we think about food, and a good cookbook should open up a. New way of doing just that. Michael Simon (food network,Iron Chef America, restaurant et in Cleveland including LULU, first cookbook in 2009. Michael Sykmonbs’ live to cook, recipes to rock your kitchen)

CONCEPTION/EDITORIAL FOCUS

THE CARNICAL EXPERIENCE: PHOTO (STEAMED TURBO IN. LOBSTER AND LEMON GRASS, WINE BACKED IN LEMON GRACES, CILANTRO CHICVES AND MELONN BALL.


FIND YOUR FOCUS (Define Your Audience, Tell a Story, Outline the Book), cultural entertaining, ethnicity….etc. Have to be culturally competent. Or focus. On a cooking method.”

UPCYCLING (will check)

Memoir angle can be. Wound into it too. The kind of Romance Angle. People want to know where recipes came from.  Number of pages, recipes, photos needed. 



Vincent Schiavelli: What makes cookbooks interesting is finding out about the people and the culture that invented the fool. “Many Beautiful Things” grew up as an actor, from Scilicy, Pelizzi Generosa in the mountains in Italy. Talks about family ties and recipes, all illustrated, no photography. Picture of the actual town hazelnuts for subsistence for its local economy for almost a century. 

WHAT could you write a cookbook about?

IDEAS FOR OWN COOKBOOK: side by side recipes (old and new). Meat and Vegetarian. 

Discussion about recipes; TIKTOK cooking and recipes, can just put recipes online, social media are paid by number of views or viewers. 

PROS AND CONS of ECookbooks, some go straight to Digital. Some sites, can adjust font size for eyes, can transport e cookbooks. Can consult in grocery story on IPhone. Instantly have access to any new book. Also, some cons: some are badly formatted. 

Annotating cookbook,  easierin paper format

KIDS ARE COOKING A Recipe Book

EDITORIAL

Food as editorial

SEASONAL VS EVERGREEN

Need to mis them up, Food and entertaining is full of seasonal inspiration - holidays. Need year-round info too - buying in bulk, pantry-organizing, what to do with leftovers….

Example Valentine’s Day etc.


Food editorial


Jackson Family Wines and The Art ofWinemaking. Being prepared. Sometimes are interviewing vendors. Had to do 45 interviews for the book Celebrity Cruise, architects for restaurants, and vendors. Be prepared. The Art of Winemaking. Arranged to talk with packeting person, assigned a lowly marketing person to talk to. Usually does all homework.This time hadn’t done as much homework. Never assume, t started talking to this fellow. Told her his name. What do you do in the marketing department. He was the head winemaker. Usually prepared. Eventually got over being annoyed and gave her what she wanted to know. Redeemed herself because continued research, built nesting areas for red-tailed hawks. Sustainable vineyard. In Sustainable angles enhance thatt page in the book. Doing research adds color to food writing.

BOOK EXCITE THE SENSES. Celebrity Cruises.

Wanted 400 pages on restaurants, beverage and entertaining, was going to establish their new entertaining brand.  

Captivate (cuisine, design

Accentuating (wind and tea service)

Illuminate. (Enspired entertating, afternoon tea, entertaining, how to throw a cocktail party)


BE LCREATIVE - Engage the Reader

Grocery store original headline for a blog on candy brans (How to Fill Your Trick or Treat Bowl - Our Top Picks for Halloween Candy)

A clever writer changed it to this t irresistible headline:

Personality Test: What Your Favorite Halloween CAndy Says About You. (Using psychology, same list of candy but presented in a way that made you wanted to read the article). 


Shawn’s and Weber Cookbook: Get together a& Grill. Where were you in ‘52?  Both founded in 1952


HAPPY CAMPER: engaging copy and having fun with editorial.  What keeps camper happy.   Research. Grilled seafood is the fastest way to that old beach magic. World’s tallest sand castle. For SteamedHalibut in a Bag

most food writing is gig writing, some creative agencies. Need an online portfolio. Volunteer. Most of the bigger companies use agencies who use part time writers. 


Quote: If the whole world would be a cruise ship there would be no war.
