108: Live at Cookbook Fest: Toriano Gordon and Anna Voloshnya

We're pleased to share our very first live show with all of our listeners! Kate, Andrea and Kristin spoke with Toriano Gordon and Anna Voloshnya at the Napa Valley Cookbook Fest earlier this year where they spoke about their individual cookbook journeys and career paths, the challenges that came with their projects and the ways the process felt fulfilling. They share their goals of representing and sharing the people, places and culture they came from, the importance of community and all about recipe creation, writing and naming. Finally they share a few instances of editorial pushback, their cover stories and the one question they encourage aspiring authors to ask themselves before starting their own cookbook journey. Hosts: Kate Leahy + Andrea Nguyen + Molly Stevens + Kristin DonnellyEditor: Abby Cerquitella MentionsNapa Valley CookbookFestEpisode 25: Inside a Ukrainian Kitchen with Anna VoloshynaToriano GordonAnna Voloshnya Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showVegan Mob by Toriano GordonBudmo! by Anna Voloshyna
