Hello and welcome to the other episode of the podcast. Right now, your cookbook might just feel like just an idea. A collection of notes, stories, and recipes that live in your head or scattered notebooks or digital files. But the moment you publish the book, everything changes. Instead of flipping through stacks of papers or trying to remember that one ingredient, you have a finished book. Your recipes and stories are in one place, beautifully organized, and ready to be used. And that’s exactly what I want to talk to you about today. What changes when you publish a cookbook?

The Perfect Loaf

Welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today I have a fun episode called the Ins and Outs for 2025. This episode was inspired by other Ins and Outs lists I’ve heard over the past few weeks. First, what is an Ins and Outs list? The Ins are things I did in 2024 that I want to do again, new stuff I want to try. The outs are things I don’t want to bring forward to the new year that doesn’t serve me anymore or don’t help me get the next version of Maggie that I want to be.

I am hosting a LIVE workshop on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at 12:00 NOON EST called Recipe Prep For Cookbook Success. In the workshop, I will help you get started with your cookbook project by selecting your recipes and organizing your vision for the book.
