Episode 105: Talking Cookbooks with Paul Kahan, Jamie Feldmar, Raquel Pelzel & Rob Newton

A rare, themed episode of the pod. Two chefs and two writers discuss the conceiving, making, and business of cookbooks. Paul Kahan takes us through his new Cooking for Good Times; writer Jamie Feldmar talks collaborating with top chefs like Angie Mar and Naomi Pomeroy; writer and editor Raquel Pelzel talks about acquiring cookbooks at Clarkson Potter and her own Umami Bomb; and chef Rob Newton explains the regional approach to his Seeking the South. And on his Toqueland blog this week, Andrew shares his working list of chef categories for the future that's already here. ***LINKS*** Andrew Talks to Chefs Official Website Cooking for Cook Times Jamie Feldmar Taste and Technique New Orleans Kitchen Butcher + Beast Raquel Pelzel Umami Bomb Rob Newton Seeking the South THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: Andrew is a writer by trade.
