  • Summary

  • Molly and Andrea speak with food journalist, poet and new cookbook author, Betsy Andrews, about her recent career pivot. She shares the story behind the book Coastal as it went from idea to article to cookbook and why a bidding war ensued after the proposal. She talks about how her hustle mentality and editorial background helped to craft the aspirational travelogue, the process to 'ventriloquize' another voice and why it was important to include metric measurements, time estimates and ingredient substitutions in the project. Finally she shares a few words of advice for others embarking on collaborative work.

    Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea Nguyen

    Editor: Abby Cerquitella
