3-hr. masterclass with Q&A + personal feedback (Stream B only)

Do you have a brilliant cookbook idea or simply an overflowing file-folder of recipes that you dream of turning into a treasured family keepsake? Are you daunted by the mysterious process that turns cooks with passion and expertise into authors?

Food writer and cookbook author Jennifer Cockrall does a deep-dish dive into how she, and other colleagues from the cookbook writing world, have wrestled ideas into recipes and recipes into useful, creative, and inspiring collections that find their niche in the crowded cookbook market. Bring your questions and queries to the class and enjoy a digital handbook filled with tip sheets, checklists, reading lists, and additional resources. The goal is to empower students to go away with the “recipes” and strategies that have worked for other cookbook writers to overcome the daunting task of creating a cookbook.

For an additional fee, students can upgrade to Stream B to receive a 45-min one-on-one consultation and feedback with Jenn on a 5 page (1,250 words max) cook book sample. Only 5 spots available.
